Abstract excerpt
Neurturin is a potent neurotrophic factor closely related to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF, 40% amino acid sequence identity) and, like GDNF, can promote the survival of numerous neuronal populations including sympathetic, nodose, and dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons. Both...
