Description

CDNF (conserved dopamine neurotrophic factor) is also known as ARMETL1 (argininerich, mutated in early stage tumorslike 1) in mouse. Mature CDNF protein consists of 161 amino acid residues (its precursor has 187 amino acids), and shares 62% amino acid (aa) identity with human MANF (mesencephalic astrocytederived neurotrophic factor), termed ARMET in mouse. CDNF was first identified by bioinformatics and then biochemically characterized. Vertebrates appear to have CDNF and MANF genes, whereas invertebrates have a single homologous gene more closely related to MANF than to CDNF. Mature human CDNF shares 80%, 84%, 90% and 92% aa identity with mouse, rat, equine and bovine CDNF, respectively. Human CDNF contains one potential N-linked glycosylation site, and both unglycosylated and glycosylated form of human CDNF is secreted from transiently overexpressing cells. Both CDNF and MANF have a high proportion of charged residues, a pattern of eight cysteines shown to form intramoleculular disulfides, and a C-terminal endoplasmic reticulum retention signal. The CDNF gene is widely expressed in neuronal and non-neuronal tissues. In the brain, highest levels in the optic nerve and corpus callosum. Although CDNF mRNA and protein are expressed in pre and postnatal mouse brain, they are most abundant in adult heart, skeletal muscle and testis. Similar to MANF and GDNF, CDNF promotes survival of dopaminergic neurons in vitro. In a rat Parkinson’s disease model, CDNF also promotes rescue and restoration of dopaminergic neurons in vivo.

Product Details

Gene Symbol: CDNF; ARMETL1

NCBI Gene ID: 441549

Uniprot Entry: Q49AH0

Construct Details: Full length human CDNF gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells. It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.

Vector Type: pLTC (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)

Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

Gene Insert Size: 564 (bp)

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification. High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
