Product Overview
Clone ABDB-7 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (gene GDNF) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 23.7 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 32 kDa.
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a secreted growth factor that strongly supports the survival of dopaminergic and motor neurons. It binds the coreceptor GFRα1 and signals through the RET tyrosine kinase. GDNF is also required for kidney development and spermatogonial stem cell maintenance, and it is studied in Parkinson's disease research.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 1:500–1:2000 |
|---|---|
| Flow cytometry | 1:20 |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 cells, human U2OS cells, human MCF-7 cells, human U251 cells, rat brain tissue, rat C6 cells, mouse brain tissue, mouse Neuro-2a cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 12% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1:500 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human GDNF.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): In the brain, predominantly expressed in the striatum with highest levels in the caudate and lowest in the putamen. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
