| Key Applications |
|
| Application Notes | Immunohistochemistry: 5-10μg/mL (see suggested protocol). Immunoblotting: 5-10μg/mL. BDNF is not easily extracted in standard buffers. Dissected tissues should be homogenized in 10 volumes of 100mM phosphate buffer containing 1mM EDTA, 2M guanidine hydrochloride (pH7.2), and three protease inhibitors, 10mM N-ethylmaleimide, 0.36mM pepstatin, and 1mM PMSF. Homogenates are then sonicated and centrifuged at 46K x g for 30 minutes at 4C. BDNF migrates as 18kDa, with a homodimer at ~27-30kDa. 1:1,000 ELISA: 5-10μg/mL BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY: Neutralizes BDNF, but not other neurotrophins. Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the nerve growth factor family. It is induced by cortical neurons, and is necessary for survival of striatal neurons in the brain. Expression of this gene is reduced in both Alzheimers and Huntington disease patients. This gene may play a role in the regulation of stress response and in the biology of mood disorders. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described for this gene, but the full-length nature of only some could be determined. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P23560 # Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SIZE: 247 amino acids; 27818 Da SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. PTM: The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. & Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: SwissProt: P23560 # Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) [MIM:209880]; also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P23560 ## Belongs to the NGF-beta family. |
