Applications
Western Blot (Recombinant protein)
Western blot analysis of recombinant GDNF protein with GDNF polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB19542). Lane 1 : 10 ng Lane 2 : 5 ng Lane 3 : 2.5 ng
This gene encodes a highly conserved neurotrophic factor. The recombinant form of this protein was shown to promote the survival and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in culture, and was able to prevent apoptosis of motor neurons induced by axotomy. The encoded protein is processed to a mature secreted form that exists as a homodimer. The mature form of the protein is a ligand for the product of the RET (rearranged during transfection) protooncogene. In addition to the transcript encoding GDNF, two additional alternative transcripts encoding distinct proteins, referred to as astrocyte-derived trophic factors, have also been described. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Hirschsprung disease. [provided by RefSeq
