Function | Important signaling molecule that activates signaling cascades downstream of NTRK2 (PubMed:11152678). 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. |
Cellular Location | Secreted |
Tissue Location | Detected in blood plasma and in saliva (at protein level) (PubMed:11152678, PubMed:19467646). Brain. Highly expressed in hippocampus, amygdala, cerebral cortex and cerebellum. Also expressed in heart, lung, skeletal muscle, testis, prostate and placenta |

Background
Human Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDGF) is a potent neurotrophic factor that supports the growth and survivability of nerve and glial cells. BDNF protein is a 27.0 kDa dimer, formed by two identical 119 amino acid subunits held together by strong hydrophobic interactions. The antibody recognizes the mature form of BDNF at 14 kDa.
