Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor

The founding member of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family. It was originally characterized as a NERVE GROWTH FACTOR promoting the survival of MIDBRAIN dopaminergic NEURONS, and it has been studied as a potential treatment for PARKINSON DISEASE.

Also Known As:

GDNF; GDNF Growth Factor; Glial Cell-Line Derived Neurotrophic Factor; Glial Cell Line Derived Neurotrophic Factor; Growth Factor, GDNF
