Active Recombinant Human GDNF Protein (Arg109-Ile211), GMP Grade

• Cat.No.: GDNF-06HG
• Product Overview: GMP recombinant human GDNF protein (Arg109-Ile211) without tag was expressed in Mouse myeloma cell line and manufactured and tested under cGMP guidelines.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. The recombinant form of this protein, a highly conserved neurotrophic factor, was shown to promote the survival and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in culture, and was able to prevent apoptosis of motor neurons induced by axotomy. This protein is a ligand for the product of the RET (rearranged during transfection) protooncogene. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Hirschsprung disease and Tourette syndrome. This gene encodes multiple protein isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing.
• Source: Mouse myeloma cell line
• Species: Human
• Form: Disulfide-linked homodimer
• Bio-activity: Measured in a cell proliferation assay using SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells. The ED50 for this effect is 2-12 ng/mL in the presence of Recombinant Human GFR alpha-1/GDNF R alpha-1 Fc Chimera.
  The specific activity of recombinant human GDNF is >5.0 x 105 units/mg, which is calibrated against the human GDNF Reference Standard. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Recombinant Human GFR alpha-1/GDNF R alpha-1 Fc Chimera at 1 μg/mL can bind Recombinant Human GDNF with an apparent Kd <1 nM.
