  • Scientific Background BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a 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. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

    Images, Protocols & SDS

  • A: Specific staining of proBDNF expressed in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell line by Flow Cytometry using cat # R-176-20. Fixing and Permeabilization of cells: Absolute methanol (10 minutes in ice) and 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS, Blocking: 15% Horse serum, Primary antibody: Rabbit Polyclonal antibody to proBDNF (0.5 μg per ~10^6 cells) for 30 minutes at room temperature, Secondary antibody: Donkey anti-rabbit PE labeled secondary antibody (1:100 dilution) with incubation for 20 minutes in dark at room temperature. Negative Control: Normal Rabbit IgG (black dashed). Data and results were generated using Orflo MoxiflowTM instrument and protocols. B: Pro-BDNF staining within the rat spinal cord dorsal horn. Normal cryostat sections of adult rat cord were stained with recombinant human anti-proBDNF (R-176-20) and detected with HRP labelled anti-rabbit antibody. Dilution 1:2000 in Human mouse and rat (Image courtesy of Dr Xin-fu Zhou).
