| Formulation |
BDNF protein solution (1mg/ml) containing 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
BDNF Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 140 amino acids (129-247 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 15.8kDa. BDNF is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
BDNF promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. BDNF is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the cns. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (ltp), long-term depression (ltd), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, Neurotrophin, Abrineurin, ANON2, BULN2, Brain-derived neurotrophic factor. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
