Abstract
In 1989 Leitbrock et al. reported the full primary structure of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. The messenger RNA for BDNF was found predominantly in the central nervous system, and the sequence of protein indicated its structural relation to NGF. BDNF belongs to a larger family of neurotrophic molecules. It stimulates the neurite outgrowth and supports neuronal survival.Entities:
