BDNF

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a crucial protein belonging to the nerve growth factor (NGF) family, involved in processes like neurogenesis, synaptogenesis, neuronal survival and long-term potentiation.

It is considered a candidate marker for psychiatric disorders, like Alzheimer’s disease. proBDNF, the precursor of BDNF, is processed to yield mature BDNF (mBDNF).

Our range of BDNF ELISA Kits is designed to differentiate between proBDNF and mBDNF, through allowing the quantification of mBNDF at different target epitopes, for individuals interested in researching neurological diseases.
