Description: | Recombinant human Glial derived Neurotrophic Factor/GDNF Protein produced in E.coli is a non-glycosylated disulfide-linked homodimer containing 2 x 135 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of approximately 30kDa. The recombinant human GDNF protein is purified by our unique chromatographic techniques. |

Purity: | Greater than 95.0% as determined by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE. |
Bioactivity: | The ED50 of recombinant human GDNF protein was determined by the proliferation of rat C6 cells is < 0.1 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0x107 units/mg. |
Formulation: | Recombinant human GDNF protein was lyophilized from a 0.2µm filtered concentrated solution in 1×PBS, pH 7.4. |
Stability: | Recombinant human GDNF Proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70℃ |
Reconstitution: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized recombinant Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Storage: | Lyophilized recombinant human Glial-derived Neurotrophic Factor / GDNF Protein although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution recombinant human GDNF protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
