BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor)

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin protein; the mature form is a non-covalent dimer of about 119-residue chains.

BDNF testing at Vanguard Laboratory is quoted, with the method agreed per sample.

Questions about BDNF testing

Is BDNF the same as small BDNF-related research peptides?

No. BDNF is a full protein; short peptides sold under related names are different molecules with far lower mass.

Why is protein testing quoted?

Large proteins need a test plan matched to the protein and the form you send, so it is agreed before the sample is sent.
