factor neurotrófico derivado del cerebro
factor neurotrópico derivado del cerebro
Scope note: Miembro de la familia de los factores tróficos de crecimiento nervioso. En el cerebro, el FNDC tiene acción trófica sobre las neuronas retinianas, colinérgicas y dopaminérgicas, y en el sistema nervioso periférico actúa sobre las neuronas motoras y sensitivas.

Scope note: A member of the nerve growth factor family of trophic factors. In the brain BDNF has a trophic action on retinal, cholinergic, and dopaminergic neurons, and in the peripheral nervous system it acts on both motor and sensory neurons. (From Kendrew, The Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology, 1994)
