Biochem/physiol Actions

Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor is a potent neurotrophic factor that is important for the maintenance, regeneration and survival of specific neuronal cells including autonomic neurons, motoneurons, noradrenergic and seotonergic neurons. Additionally, it promotes the invasion and metastatic behavior of certain types of cancers by activating ERK, p38, JNK and AP-1 mediated cell signaling.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline

Preparation Note

Purified using protein G.

Although initially thought to be important primarily in neural development, a number of trophic proteins have been found to have neuroprotective and neuroregenerative activity in the adult central nervous system, particularly for midbrain dopamine neurons (MDN). Neurorestoration is potentially feasible

Glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), and the neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are important for the survival, maintenance and regeneration of specific neuronal populations in the adult brain. Depletion of these neurotrophic factors has been
