Specifications

Human Neurturin (NTN) and human GDNF compriise a family off TGF-beta related neurotrophic factor which have trophic influences on a variety off neuronal populations. Neuroturin promotes the survivability off certain sympathetic and sensory neurons through interaction with distinct set of GDNF-like recepttors. This is a homodimeric 23.6kD protein consisting off two identical subunits each containing 103 amino acid residues.
Catalog #	N2205-05A
Source	Recombinant corresponding to 103aa from human Neurturin expressed in E. coli.
Molecular Weight	~23.6kD homodimer
Endotoxin	~0.1ng/ug
Biological Activity	Determined by measuring its ability to support the survival of newborn rat sympathetic neurons. Neurturin at a concentration of 100ng/ml supports the survival of 65% of these neurons. Neurturin and the structurally related glial-cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) comprise a family of TGF-beta related neurotrophic factors. Neurturin supports the survival of sympathetic and sensory nerves.
Storage and Stability	Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile dH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C.
