Recombinant Human GDNF (Animal-Free)
Induced proliferation of C6 cells assay for Human GDNF. Cell proliferation was measured to calculate the ED50, which is as expected less than 3 μg/ml.
Non-reducing (-) and reducing (+) conditions in a 4 - 20% Tris-Glycine gel stained with Coomassie Blue. 1 μg of protein was loaded in each lane. Human GDNF has a predicted Mw of 30.4 kDa (each monomer is 15.2 kDa).

PODS® Growth Factors
This growth factor is also available as PODS® for sustained release, see here.Animal-Free
This product is produced with no animal derived raw products. All processing and handling employs animal free equipment and animal free protocols.Description
Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a neurotrophic factor that signals through a multicomponent receptor system to activate receptor tyrosine kinase RET signaling. GDNF promotes dopamine uptake, prevents motor neuron apoptosis, and supports the survival and differentiation of neurons.Activity Assay
Human GDNF (Animal-Free) is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined by a proliferation assay using C6 cells and it is typically less than 3 µg/ml. This corresponds to an expected specific activity of 3.3 x 102 units/mg.AA Sequence
