RABBIT ANTI BDNF

Rabbit anti Human BDNF antibody recognizes brain-derived neutotrophic factor (BDNF), also known as ANON2, BULN2, abrinurion and neurotrophin.

This gene encodes a member of the nerve growth factor family of proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. Binding of this protein to its cognate receptor promotes neuronal survival in the adult brain. Expression of this gene is reduced in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease patients. This gene may play a role in the regulation of the stress response and in the biology of mood disorders (provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015).

Rabbit anti Human BDNF antibody detects a band of 28 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
