Product Description
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer that is a distantly related member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. It is a founding member of the GDNF family of ligands (GFL) and has been shown to interact with GFRA2 and GDNF family receptor alpha. Mature rat and human GDNF exhibit approximately 93% amino acid sequence identity and show considerable species cross-reactivity. Cells known to express GDNF include Sertoli cells, type 1 astrocytes, Schwann cells, neurons, pinealocytes and skeletal muscle cells. In embryonic midbrain cultures, recombinant human GDNF promoted the survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increased their high-affinity dopamine uptake.

Physical Appearance |
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Purity |
>95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. |
Biological Activity |
The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using rat C6 cells is less than 0.2 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity of > 5.0 × 106 IU/mg. Fully biologically active when compared to standard. |
Endotoxin |
< 0.1 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.05% Tween-20. |
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20℃. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Shipping and Storage
The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ to -80℃ for 1 year.
Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
