DescriptionDescriptionSpecificity This antibody recognizes human and mouse BDNF. Background BDNF acts on neurons of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system supporting the survival of existing neurons and stimulating growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses. In the brain, it is active in the hippocampus, cortex, and basal forebrain, areas vital to learning, memory, and higher thinking. It is also expressed in the retina, motor neurons, kidneys, saliva, and prostate. 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. {PubMed:11152678, PubMed:12553913, PubMed:29909994}.; [BDNF precursor form]: Important signaling molecule that activates signaling cascades downstream of NTRK2. Activates signaling cascades via the heterodimeric receptor formed by NGFR and SORCS2 (PubMed:24908487, PubMed:29909994). Signaling via NGFR and SORCS2 plays a role in synaptic plasticity and long-term depression (LTD). Binding to NGFR and SORCS2 promotes neuronal apoptosis. Promotes neuronal growth cone collapse (By similarity). {UniProtKB:P21237, PubMed:24908487, PubMed:29909994}.
