Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein which can be thought of as âbrain fertilizer.â BDNF helps the brain to develop new connections, repair failing brain cells, and protect healthy brain cells.rain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein which can be thought of as âbrain fertilizer.â BDNF helps the brain to develop new connections, repair failing brain cells, and protect healthy brain cells.
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a secretory protein that is widely expressed in the CNS and peripheral tissues. It is synthesized in the form of precursor pre-pro-GDNF that is proteolytically cleaved to mature, biologically active neurotrophic factor (Lin et al., 1993).
