Neurotrophic factors also promote the initial growth and development of neurons in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system, and they are capable of regrowing damaged neurons in test tubes and animal models. [1] [4] Some neurotrophic factors are also released by the target tissue in order to guide the growth of developing axons.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), or abrineurin, [5] is a protein [6] that, in humans, is encoded by the BDNF gene. [7] [8] BDNF is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors, which are related to the canonical nerve growth factor (NGF), a family which also includes NT-3 and NT-4/NT-5.
Neurotrophin-3, or NT-3, is a neurotrophic factor, in the NGF-family of neurotrophins. It is a protein growth factor that has activity on certain neurons of the peripheral and central nervous system ; it helps to support the survival and differentiation of existing neurons, and encourages the growth and differentiation of new neurons and synapses .
The common ligands of trk receptors are neurotrophins, a family of growth factors critical to the functioning of the nervous system. [3] The binding of these molecules is highly specific. Each type of neurotrophin has different binding affinity toward its corresponding Trk receptor. The activation of Trk receptors by neurotrophin binding may ...
Recent research has suggested a number of roles for the LNGFR, including in development of the eyes and sensory neurons, [20] [21] and in repair of muscle and nerve damage in adults. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] [ 24 ] Two distinct subpopulations of Olfactory ensheathing glia have been identified [ 25 ] with high or low cell surface expression of low-affinity ...
Tropomyosin receptor kinase B is the high affinity catalytic receptor for several "neurotrophins", which are small protein growth factors that induce the survival and differentiation of distinct cell populations. The neurotrophins that activate TrkB are: BDNF (Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor), neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3).
