GDNF (animal free), rat recombinant
Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or 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 receptors known as RET, and GFRα1-4 to promote dopamine uptake, survival and differentiation of neurons. Recombinant rat GDNF is a non-glycosylated homodimer.

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.
