Guinea pig antibody to pro BDNF

FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability.
SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.

IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 1000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user.
