This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detecting Human/Mouse/Rat/Rabbit/Goat/Horse BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor). The assay range is from 0.156 to 10 ng/ml (Sandwich kit) with a sensitivity of 0.055 ng/ml. There is no detectable cross to reactivity with other relevant proteins. Activity loss rate and accelerated stability test ect have been conducted to guarantee the best performance of the products after long storage and delivery.

• High sensitivity and specificity
• Perfect reproducibility and consistency across batches
• Quality control with three-level inspections
• Wide range of targets/species available
• Intra-Assay: CV <10%, Inter-Assay: CV <12%

BDNF is a 13 kDa, 119 amino acid (aa) residue non-glycosylated polypeptide whose primary structure is conserved among all mammalian species examined. Initially synthesized as a 247 aa residue prepropeptide, the BDNF molecule is divided into an 18 aa residue signal sequence, a 110 aa residue prosequence, and a 119 aa residue mature segment. Similar to other neurotrophic factors, there is a possibility that the N-terminus is alternatively spliced, giving rise to a longer pre-prosegment (but identical mature segment) with different functional properties. As a mature molecule, BDNF is 52% identical to NGF at the amino acid level, exists as a noncovalently-linked homodimer in solution, and contains six cysteine residues that are believed to form three intrachain disulfide linkages.
