The following Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of brain derived neurotrophic factor in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the BDNF gene. This protein has been described to function in axon guidance and the regulation of apoptosis. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 247 residues, a mass of 27.8 kDa, and is a member of the NGF-beta protein family. It has been described to be a secreted protein. In addition, it is notably expressed in blood plasma and in saliva. As many as 5 protein isoforms have been reported. In certain instances, it is also post-translationally N-glycosylated, cleaved and sulfated. This protein may also be known as BULN2, abrineurin, neurotrophin, and ANON2.
The detection range for different Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 0.41 pg/mL and as high as 1000 ng/mL.
