Catalogue Number | CYT-207 |
Synonyms | Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, BDNF, MGC34632. |
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. |
Description | Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimer, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 2 x 119 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 26,984 Dalton. |
BDNF Human Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. | |
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 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability | Lyophilized BDNF although 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. | |
Purity | BDNF is greater than 97.0% as determined by: |
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. | |
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. | |
Amino acid sequence | MHSDPARRGE LSVCDSISEW VTAADKKTAV DMSGGTVTVL EKVPVSKGQL KQYFYETKCN PMGYTKEGCR GIDKRHWNSQ CRTTQSYVRA LTMDSKKRIG WRFIRIDTSC VCTLTIKRGR. |
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. |
Protein content | BDNF quantitation was carried out by two independent methods: |
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 1.6 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics). | |
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard solution of Brain-derived Neurotrophic Factor as a Reference Standard. | |
