| Abstract | Artemin (ARTN) is a neurotrophic growth factor of the GDNF ligand family that signals through the specific GFR -3 coreceptor/cRet tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling cascade. Its expression and signaling action in adults are restricted to nociceptive sensory neurons in the dorsal root ganglia. Consequently, Artemin supports survival and growth of sensory neurons and has been studied as a possible treatment for neuropathic pain. We have developed a robust and sensitive cellular assay to measure ARTN biological activity. Using recombinant Artemin produced in Escherichia coli bacteria together with this specific assay, we demonstrate that ARTN is an exceptionally stable polypeptide. Multiple freeze-thaw cycles, incubation at elevated temperatures (up to 90 °C) for 0.5 h, prolonged storage at 4 °C, and exposure to conditions of different pH, salt concentration, and additives had no measurable effect on the biological activity of ARTN. In some of the tested conditions, partial removal of nine NH(2)-terminal amino acids of the ARTN protein occurred, but this truncation had no important effect on the ARTN signaling response. Consequently, we postulate that formulation and storage for in vivo testing of ARTN in neuropathic pain paradigms in animals and humans should be straightforward. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
