GDNF (animal free), human recombinant
Glial-derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) is a neurotrophic factor that is closely related to other neurotrophic factors, such as neurturin, persephin, and artemin, by a common structural feature called the cysteine-knot. GDNF signals through a multicomponent system of receptors that includes RET and GFRα1-4, to romote dopamine uptake, survival and differentiation of neurons. Recombinant human GDNF is a non-glycosylated homodimer, containing two 135 amino acid chains and with a total molecular weight of 30.4 kDa.

Produced using animal free raw components and processes, in a non-mammalian system. Ideal for researchers concerned about the risks and effects of contaminating viruses, prions and trace growth factors from FBS and animal-derived ingredients used in standard recombinant protein production techniques. Endotoxin levels are less than 1.0 EU per ug protein via LAL. Bioactivity is comparable to recombinant protein produced in traditional techniques.
