Background

Glial cell derived neurotrophic factor, also known as GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer that is a distantly related member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily.1 GDNF potently promotes the survival of many types of neurons, most prominently, dopaminergic and motorneurons. GDNF regulates kidney development and spermatogenesis, and it affects alcohol consumption.2
