About Bdnf

Summary

Enables neurotrophin TrkB receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to cocaine; cellular response to norepinephrine stimulus; and regulation of neuronal synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; positive regulation of Glucocorticoid Receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including mitochondrial crista; perikaryon; and synaptic vesicle. Used to study Alzheimer's disease; cystitis; eye disease (multiple); neuropathy (multiple); and status epilepticus. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcohol use disorder; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; hypertensive encephalopathy; middle cerebral artery infarction; and sciatic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including cognitive disorder (multiple); congenital central hypoventilation syndrome; neurodegenerative disease (multiple); obstructive sleep apnea; and status epilepticus. Orthologous to human BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
