Description
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or abrineurin, is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the BDNF gene.BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors, which are related to the canonical nerve growth factor (NGF), a family which also includes NT-3 and NT-4/NT-5. Neurotrophic factors are found in the brain and the periphery. BDNF was first isolated from a pig brain in 1982 by Yves-Alain Barde and Hans Thoenen.
BDNF activates the TrkB tyrosine kinase receptor.BDNF acts on certain neurons of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system expressing TrkB, helping to support survival of existing neurons, and encouraging growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses.In the brain it is active in the hippocampus, cortex, and basal forebrainareas vital to learning, memory, and higher thinking. BDNF is also expressed in the retina, kidneys, prostate, motor neurons, and skeletal muscle, and is also found in saliva.
The GENLISA Human Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) ELISA includes features like:
– Ready to use protocol with break-apart wells for ease of use
– Standardisation and High Reproducibility
– Lot to Lot Consistency
– Accuracy and Precision
Validated against seven points for a “GOLD RING” Standard Quality ELISA – the benchmark sign for Krishgen Quality. The The GENLISA ELISA kits are used for assessing the specific biomarker in samples analytes which may be human serum, plasma, biological fluids and cell culture supernatant. The kit uses indirect sandwich assay with double antibodies – capture and detection to ensure a high degree of sensitivity and specificity in the estimation of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF);
