Recombinant Human NRN1 produced in E.coli cells is a non-glycosylated, homodimeric protein containing 2x88 amino acid chains and having a molecular mass of 19.4kDa. The NRN1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Neuritin (NRN1) is a neurotrophic factor, which is expressed in response to induction of neuronal activity by NGF, BDNF, NT3 and other neural stimulators. NRN1 is expressed principally in postmitotic-differentiating neurons of the developing nervous system and in neuronal structures related to synaptic plasticity in the adult nervous system. NRN1 functions as a molecular mediator of neurite outgrowth, neuronal survival, and synaptic maturation.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized NRN1 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 a cell proliferation assay using rat C6 cells is less than 25ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 4.0 × 104 IU/mg.
