Rat Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor - Animal-Free | 300-831P

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, containing two 135 amino acid chains, with a total molecular weight of 30.1 kDa. This product is produced using Animal Free raw components and processes, in a non-mammalian system. Ships ambient. Store frozen at -20 to -10C.
