Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein to 0.2 mg/mL in sterile 1x PBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA). Gently swirl or tap vial to mix.

Our GMP recombinant proteins are animal component free (ACF), xeno free (XF) and tag free (TF). Read more about these policies here.

Background

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin family, which also includes NGF, NT-3, NT-4, and NT-6. It plays a critical role in the survival, differentiation, and maturation of neurons during development. It is primarily expressed in various regions of the brain including the hippocampus, amygdala, cerebellum, and cerebral cortex. BDNF binds with the TrkB receptor, which results in the activation of downstream pathways controlling neural plasticity, neurogenesis, and stress resistance. It may also play a role in promoting angiogenesis and endothelial cell survival. Decreased levels of BDNF have been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease.
