Introduction | 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. |
Synonyms | Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, BDNF, MGC34632. |
Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation | The protein was lyophilized WITHOUT ANY ADDITIVES. |
Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized BDNF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 |
Stability | Lyophilized BDNF althoµgh stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution BDNF 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. |
Amino Acid Sequence | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids of BDNF was determined and found to be Met-His-Ser-Asp-Pro. |
Purity | BDNF is greater than 97.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Biological Activity | The ED50, calculated by the dose-dependent induction of ACHE (acetylcholine esterase) in rat basal forebrain primary septal culture is 50 ng/ml corresponding to a Specific Activity of 20,000IU/mg. |
Usage | NeoScientific's products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drµgs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals. |
