| Gene Symbol: |
BDNF |
| Gene ID: |
627 |
| Uniprot ID: |
BDNF_HUMAN |
| Specificity: |
Specific for mature BDNF. |
| Immunogen: |
A synthetic peptide from human mature BDNF conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen. The peptide is homologous in many other species including rat, mouse, zebra fish and xenopus. |
| Post Translational Modifications | BDNF precursor form: N-glycosylated and glycosulfated, contrary to mature BDNF. Mature BDNF is produced by proteolytic removal of the propeptide, catalyzed by a FURIN family member. In addition, the precursor form is proteolytically cleaved within the propeptide, but this is not an obligatory intermediate for the production of mature BDNF. Can be converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). |
| Function | Important signaling molecule that activates signaling cascades downstream of NTRK2. During development, promotes the survival and differentiation of selected neuronal populations of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Participates in axonal growth, pathfinding and in the modulation of dendritic growth and morphology. 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. BDNF precursor form: Important signaling molecule that activates signaling cascades downstream of NTRK2. Activates signaling cascades via the heterodimeric receptor formed by NGFR and SORCS2. Signaling via NGFR and SORCS2 plays a role in synaptic plasticity and long-term depression (LTD). Binding to NGFR and SORCS2 promotes neuronal apoptosis. Promotes neuronal growth cone collapse. |
