CDNF Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 161 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18.5kDa.The CDNF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
CDNF is a member of the ARMET family and acts as a trophic factor for dopamine neurons. CDNF inhibits the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. When CDNF controlled after 6-OHDA-lesioning, it reestablishes the dopaminergic function and inhibits the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra. CDNF is universally expressed in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. The highest levels in the brain are found in the optic nerve and corpus callosum.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized CDNF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. The ED50 as determined by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of rat C6 cells is 15-25µg/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 40-67units/mg.
