Background
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of the neurotrophin family, which also includes NGF, NT-3, NT-4, and NT-6. It plays a critical role in the survival, differentiation, and maturation of neurons during development. It is primarily expressed in various regions of the brain including the hippocampus, amygdala, cerebellum, and cerebral cortex. BDNF binds with the TrkB receptor, which results in the activation of downstream pathways controlling neural plasticity, neurogenesis, and stress resistance. It may also play a role in promoting angiogenesis and endothelial cell survival. Decreased levels of BDNF have been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease.
