Brain-derived neurotrophic factor is a secreted protein that, in humans, is encoded by the BDNF gene. It is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors, which are related to the canonical nerve growth factor. BDNF is a prosurvival factor induced by cortical neurons that is necessary for survival of striatal neurons in the brain. It is expressed within peripheral ganglia and is not restricted to neuronal target fields. It has been purified and shown to reduce the amount of naturally occurring neuronal cell death in portions of the peripheral nervous system.
