| Formulation |
CDNF protein was lyophilized from a 0.2um filtered concentrated solution in 1xPBS, pH 7.4. |
| Solubility |
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CDNF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Purity |
Greater than 97.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
CDNF Mouse Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 163 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.5kDa.The CDNF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
CDNF is a member of the ARMET family and acts as a trophic factor for dopamine neurons. CDNF inhibits the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. When CDNF controlled after 6-OHDA-lesioning, it reestablishes the dopaminergic function and inhibits the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. CDNF is universally expressed in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. The highest levels in the brain are found in the optic nerve and corpus callosum. |
| Expression host |
Escherichia Coli. |
| Synonyms |
Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor, ARMET-like protein 1, Conserved dopamine neurotrophic factor, Cdnf, Armetl1, 9330140G23. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Stability |
Lyophilized CDNF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution CDNF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |

| Biological Activity |
CDNF Mouse is able to enhance neurite outgrowth of E16-E18 rat embryonic cortical neurons when immobilized at 5-30 ug/mL on a nitrocellulose-coated microplate. |
