Molecular Weight
Approximately 29.8 kDa, a homodimeric protein consisting of two 134 amino acid non-glycosylated polypeptide chains.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in 20 mM PB, 500 mM NaCl, pH 6.4.
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 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Background
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.
