Rabbit GDNF Polyclonal Antibody | anti-GDNF antibody
GDNF Antibody: PerCP
Tissue Specificity: In the brain, predominantly expressed in the striatum with highest levels in the caudate and lowest in the putamen. Isoform 2 is absent from most tissues except for low levels in intestine and kidney. Highest expression of isoform 3 is found in pancreatic islets. Isoform 5 is expressed at very low levels in putamen, nucleus accumbens, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hypothalamus and intestine. Isoform 3 is up-regulated in the middle temporal gyrus of Alzheimer disease patients while isoform 2 shows no change.
WB (Western Blot)
(Western blot analysis with AAA Biotech's anti-GDNF polyclonal antibody showing detection of GDNF protein in rat brain lysate (prepared in-house). Rat GNDF protein with signal and pro-peptide segments has a predicted molecular weight of 23.6 kDa (UniProt Q07731). Block: 5% skim milk. Primary Antibody: Rabbit Anti-GDNF Polyclonal Antibody at 1:1000 for 2 hours at RT. Secondary Antibody: Goat anti-rabbit IgG:HRP at 1:5000 for 1 hour at RT. Color Development: Chemiluminescent for HRP (Moss) for 3 min in RT. Exposed 7.299 seconds. NOTE secondary antibody shows some non-specific binding in the control, but not to the GNDF protein.)

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a highly conserved multifunctional secretory protein, is distributed throughout the peripheral and central nervous system to support neuronal growth, proliferation, and survival (1-3). It was the first member of the GDNF family ligands (GFL). Pro-GDNF, a 211 residue precursor sequence, folds via disulphide bonding and dimerization in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). N-linked glycosylation subsequently takes place at the tip of one of the protein's two finger-like structures. These structures facilitate contact between the mature protein, the GRFalpha1 receptor, and RET, that is necessary for GDNF signalling. A similar configuration is observed in the cytokine TGFbeta2 (2). The mature GDNF protein (134 residues) is produced by proteolysis of processed pro-GDNF at a proteolytic consensus sequence situated within the C-terminus (1). Through interactions between Cys131, Cys133, Cys68 & Cys72, the C-terminus forms a ring-like structure (3). As multiple proteases can cleave the precursor sequence, different forms of mature GDNF are possible (1). GDNF is implicated in the promotion of dopamine uptake within midbrain dopaminergic neurons, as well as the proliferation and migration of gliomas. Motor neurons, Schwann cells, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and skeletal muscle have been shown to secrete GDNF during neuronal development and growth (1,3). Initial studies suggested that GDNF may play a neuroprotective role in neurodegenerative disease such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease and various synucleinopathies (4,5), however, recent research has indicated inconsistent levels of neuroprotective ability in neurodegenerative disease models (1, 6-8).

Product Notes
The GDNF gdnf (Catalog #AAA254110) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The GDNF Antibody: PerCP reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's GDNF can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, WB (Western Blot). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GDNF gdnf for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GDNF, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
