Abstract excerpt
The neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) binds to two cell surface receptors: TrkB receptors that promote neuronal survival and differentiation and p75NTR that induces apoptosis or survival. BDNF, as well as the other members of the neurotrophin family, is synthesized as a larger precursor, pro-BDNF, which undergoes posttranslational modifications and proteolytic processing by furin or related...
