| Formulation |
BDNF protein solution (0.5mg/ml) contains Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
BDNF produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 409 amino acids (32-429a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 45.7kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 57-70kDa under reducing conditions).BDNF is expressed with an 11 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and 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 |

| Synonyms |
GP145-TrkB/GP95-TrkB, Trk-B, Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2, TrkB, tyrosine kinase, Ntrk2, Trkb, BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor. |
| 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. |
