Description |
brain-derived neurotrophic factor |
| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable growth factor activity and nerve growth factor receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within circadian behavior; multicellular organismal response to stress; and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including blastoderm; digestive system; kidney; nervous system; and oral region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; cocaine dependence; cognitive disorder (multiple); congenital central hypoventilation syndrome; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025] |
