Product Description :
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. 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. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.
CrossReactivity :
This antiserum is known to recognise rat, human and human BDNF.
ALTnames :
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor; Abrineurin; proBDNF;
Immunogen :
A synthetic peptide (HSDPARRGEL) as a part of human BDNF protein (aa: 129-138) conjugated to KLH has been used as the immunogen. The BDNF protein sequence is highly conserved amongst mammalian species.
Specificity :
Less than 0.1% cross reactivity with mouse NGF, recombinant human NT3 and NT4/5 has been recorded by dot blot analysis.
Packaging :
Small box at room temperature
Application Summary :
IHC, ELISA, WB. A concentration of 1-10 µg/ml is recommended for these applications. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Storage :
After reconstitution keep aliquots at -20°C for a higher stability, and at 4°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Glycerol (1:) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid repetitive freeze/thaw cycles.
