Invitrogen™ Rat GDNF ELISA Kit

Description

ELISA

Rat GDNF quantitates rat GDNF in serum, plasma, supernatant. The assay will exclusively recognize both natural and recombinant rat GDNF.

GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. GDNF is a neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake.
