Function
Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. Acts by binding to its coreceptor, GFRA1, leading to autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor. Involved in the development of the neural crest.
Product Specifications
Recombinant Human Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor protein (GDNF) is a recombinant protein, expressed in E.Coli, covering amino acids 78-211aa, with Tag-Free tag, molecular weight 15.1 kDa, purity >97% as determined by SDS-PAGE.. Suitable for ELISA and Western Blot applications.
Recommended applications depend on the target, product format, and product-specific validation data. Refer to the product datasheet or Certificate of Analysis (CoA), or contact BioCrest Sci for application guidance.
Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The biological activity was measured by its ability to enhance neurite outgrowth of E16-E18 rat embryonic cortical neurons, when neurons were plated on 96 well culture plates that had been pre-coated with 100 µl/well of a solution of 5-10 µg/ml rHuPTN.
Storage: Store at -20°C/-80°C upon receipt, aliquoting is necessary for mutiple use. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Shipping & Lead Time: Availability, shipping conditions, and estimated lead time are confirmed in the formal quotation or order confirmation based on the product format, destination, and order requirements.
