Description

General description

Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a secreted protein that promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. It is induced by cortical neurons, and is necessary for survival of striatal neurons in the brain. Expression of this gene is reduced in both Alzheimer’s and Huntington disease patients. BDNF may play a role in the regulation of stress response and in the biology of mood disorders. BDNF exists as monomers or homodimers and binds to TRKB/NTRK2 receptors.
