Specificity: Toxin target: p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), Sortilin receptors

Endotoxin Level: <0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.

Biological Activity Comment: BDNF is a neurotrophic factor and binds p75NTR as well as TrkB receptors1,2. BDNF supports the survival of many cell types3-8. proBDNF has been shown to be a pro-apoptotic ligand for sympathetic neurons9 expressing both p75 and sortilin, and to be involved in LTD10.

Application Details

Application Notes: Antigen Preadsorption Control: 0.2 nM

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial at 10,000 x g for 5 minutes before opening to ensure all material is collected at the bottom. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial and dissolve by gently tapping, tilting, or rolling the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing, a brief, light vortex of 1-2 seconds is acceptable if necessary. Reconstitute in sterile, high-purity water at a concentration of at least 0.1 mg/mL. For long-term storage, aliquot the solution into small, single-use vials and store at -20 °C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh working solutions just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain optimal biological activity.

Buffer: Lyophilized from double distilled water (ddH2O). May contain residual trifluoroacetate (TFA).

Handling Advice: Centrifuge the vial at 10,000 x g for 5 minutes before opening to ensure all material is collected at the bottom,Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain optimal biological activity,Avoid vigorous vortexing. protect from moisture

Storage: -20 °C

Storage Comment: The product is shipped as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon receipt, store at -20°C and protect from moisture.
