Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or abrineurin, [5] is a protein [6] that, in humans, is encoded by the BDNF gene. [7] [8] BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors, which are related to the canonical nerve growth factor (NGF), a family which also includes NT-3 and NT-4/NT-5.

2015年3月30日 · BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is considered an important protein that influences brain function as well as the peripheral nervous system. BDNF influences a variety of functions including: preventing death of existing brain cells, inducing the growth of new neurons (neurogenesis) and synapses, and supporting cognitive function. Low ...

BDNF stimulates and controls growth of new neurons from neural stem cells (neurogenesis) [5, 6], and BDNF protein and mRNA have been identified in most brain areas including the olfactory bulb, cortex, hippocampus, basal forebrain, mesencephalon, hypothalamus, …

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) protein structure. The preproBDNF consists of three sequences: signal sequence (s.s), pro-domain, and mature domain.

2017年3月29日 · BDNF is a protein that improves the function of neurons, encourages their growth, and strengthens/protects them against premature cell death. It also binds to receptors at the synapses, to improve signal strength between neurons.

The BDNF gene provides instructions for making a protein found in the brain and spinal cord called brain-derived neurotrophic factor. This protein promotes the survival of nerve cells (neurons) by playing a role in the growth, maturation (differentiation), and …

2016年11月22日 · Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates the survival and growth of neurons, and influences synaptic efficiency and plasticity. The human BDNF gene consists of 11 exons, and...

Brain derived neurotrophic factor is synthesized as the precursor proBDNF, that can be stored in either dendrites or axons (Lessmann et al., 2003), and undergoes cleavage intra or extracellularly (Lee et al., 2001; Mowla et al., 2001) to produce a mature BDNF protein.

2024年12月24日 · BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with BDNF include Bulimia Nervosa and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Among its related pathways are Apoptotic Pathways in Synovial Fibroblasts and Downstream signaling of activated FGFR2.

2015年4月21日 · Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is the most ubiquitous and intensively studied member of the family of neurotrophins in the CNS. The transcriptional regulation of BDNF is complex and involves both epigenetic control and transcription factors.
