Abstract excerpt
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has multiple alternative splicing variants and plays diverse biological functions in mammals, including neuronal survival, cholesterol metabolism, cell differentiation and tumor development. However, genomic structures of chicken BDNF (cBDNF) variants and its potential functions are still undefined. Here, we characterized two novel alternative splicing variants of cBDNF,...
