  • Title: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF): role in neuronal development and survival.
    Author: Woźniak W.
    Journal: Folia Morphol (Warsz); 1993; 52(4):173-81. PubMed ID: 8175070.
    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.
