GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing.
产品描述
The Biosensis GDNF RapidTM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of GDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, and serum only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular rat serum samples. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-GDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-GDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3,5,5- tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of GDNF present in samples and protein standards. This GDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant rat GDNF standard and is therefore designed to measure the rat form of GDNF. Note that the antibodies used in this kit cross-react with mouse, human and guinea pig GDNF. This kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
