BDNF antibody

Catalog No. ABIN964574

Product Details anti-BDNF Antibody

Target: BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This BDNF antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Specificity: This product is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above.  This antibody is specific for human BDNF protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with BDNF from human sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Based on high to 100% homology, there is a chance of cross-reactivity to BDNF from a wide variety of animals. Cross-reactivity with BDNF from other sources has not been determined.

Characteristics: BDNF is a member of the nerve growth factor family of trophic factors. In the brain BDNF has a trophic action on retinal, cholinergic, and dopaminergic neurons, and in the peripheral nervous system it acts on both motor and sensory neurons. Some protein domains of BDNF are identical with those of NGF and another neurotrophic factor, designated NT-3 (neurotrophin-3). It exists as monomers and homodimers, and binds to NTRK2/TRKB. Polyclonal antibodies raised against murine NGF have been shown to cross-react with both NT-3 and BDNF. The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. BDNF is converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). It is expressed in brain, and highly expressed in hippocampus, amygdala, cerebral cortex and cerebellum, it is also expressed in heart, lung, skeletal muscle, testis, prostate and placenta.

Purification: affinity purified

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: This IgG fraction antibody was prepared from rabbit antiserum after repeated immunizations with recombinant truncated human BDNF protein produced in E.coli.
Immunogen Type: RecombinantProtein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: This purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 27 kDa in size corresponding to the mature human BDNF protein by western blotting in appropriate cell lysate or extract.
