Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor, a Protective Factor for Photoreceptors in Vivo.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology - 1 Jan 2016

Polato Federica, Becerra S Patricia

Abstract excerpt

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a natural protein of the retina with demonstrable neurotrophic properties, found in the interphotoreceptor matrix in intimate contact with photoreceptors. This review summarizes the effects of PEDF on photoreceptors in several animal models of retinal degeneration.
