RCDNF Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. CDNF Rat Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 163 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.8kDa.The CDNF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. CDNF is a member of the ARMET family and acts as a trophic factor for dopamine neurons. CDNF inhibits the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) -induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. When CDNF controlled after 6-OHDA-lesioning, it reestablishes the dopaminergic function and inhibits the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. CDNF is universally expressed in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. The highest levels in the brain are found in the optic nerve and corpus callosum.

Product Specifications

Product Name Alternative

Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor||ARMET-like protein 1||Arginine-rich protein mutated in early stage tumors-like 1||Conserved dopamine neurotrophic factor||Cdnf||Armetl1.

Purification

Greater than 97.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Components

CDNF protein was lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 1xPBS, pH 7.4.

Storage Conditions

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

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CDNF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. CDNF Rat is able to enhance neurite outgrowth of E16-E18 rat embryonic cortical neurons when immobilized at 5-25 μg/mL on a nitrocellulose-coated microplate.
