MANF Mesencephalic Astrocyte-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Rat Recombinant Protein

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized MANF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Selectively promotes the survival of dopaminergic neurons of the ventral mid-brain. Modulates GABAergic transmission to the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. Enhances spontaneous, as well as evoked, GABAergic inhibitory postsynaptic currents in dopaminergic neurons. Inhibits cell proliferation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced cell death.

Lyophilized MANF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution MANF 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.
