Description

A homodimeric protein consisting of two 134 amino acid non-glycosylated polypeptide chains corresponding to GDNF Source: E. coli

Uniprot ID: Q07731

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degrees C, but should be kept at -20 degrees C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is most stable at -20 to -80 degrees C, and can be stored for one week at 2-8 degrees C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degrees C to -80 degrees C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Purity

> 98 % pure by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 0.1 EU/ug of GDNF as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

29.8 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

GDNF protein is fully biologically active when compared to standard. Measured by its ability to support the survival and stimulate neurite outgrowth of dissociated chick embryonic dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons. The ED50 for this effect is typically 1 - 3 ng/mL

Protein / Peptide Type

Background: GDNF

Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor is a founding member of the GDNF family of ligands (GFL) and has been shown to interact with GFRA2 and GDNF family receptor alpha 1. It is a small protein that potently promotes the survival and morphological differentiation of various neuronal. It may also modulate local neuronal effects in distal regions of the motor neuron. GDNF Recombinant rat GDNF (monomer) contains 135 amino acids residues, which is a disulfide-linked homodimer and it shares 99 % and 93 % a.a. sequence identity with mouse and human GDNF.
