Primary Product Type: Cytokines and proteins

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a member of neurotrophin family that not only primarily expressed in hippocampus, amygdala, cerebral cortex, hypothalamus and cerebellum but also has been detected in blood platelets and in circulating plasma. BDNF is a 27.8 kDa protein containing 247 residues, which plays a critical role in regulating synaptic transmission and plasticity in various region of the CNS. Additionally, BNDF can acts as a modulator in the long-term potentiation of memory-related modifications in hippocampal synaptic transmission.
