Recombinant Human GDNF | Z101059

abm | Recombinant Human GDNF | Z101059

GDNF is a disulfide-bonded homodimeric glycosylated protein of 134 amino acids. The amino acid sequences inferred from rat and human cDNAs are 93% identical. The proteins contain seven conserved cysteine residues in the same relative spacing found in all members of the TGF-beta superfamily of proteins. In embryonic midbrain cultures GDNF promotes the survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake.

Ambient Temperature

Storage Condition:

The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70°C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8°C for one month, or at -20°C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
