Rabbit polyclonal antibody to GDNFGlial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been identified as a potent neurotrophic factor that enhances survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer. It promotes the survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. On the basis of these findings, it has been suggested that GDNF may play a role in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, which is marked by progressive degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons.

Tested Applications
IHCIP
Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml). Based on researcher’s feedback, the antibody also works in immunoprecipitation (10-20 µg/ml), and Immunohistochemistry (10-20 µg/ml). However, the optimal concentrations should be determined individually. The antibody recognizes GDNF of human, mouse, and rat origins. Jurkat cell lysate can be used as a positive control.
