About This Section Entrez Gene summary for BDNF : The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the nerve growth factor family. It is induced by cortical neurons, and is necessary for survival of striatal neurons in the brain. Expression of this gene is reduced in both Alzheimer's and Huntington disease patients. This gene may play a role in the regulation of stress response and in the biology of mood disorders. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: BDNF_HUMAN, P23560 Function : During development, promotes the survival and differentiation of selected neuronal populations of theperipheral and central nervous systems. Participates in axonal growth, pathfinding and in the modulation of dendritic growth and morphology. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability summary
for BDNF : Trk (neurotrophin) receptors are single transmembrane catalytic receptors with intracellular tyrosine kinaseactivity. Trk receptors are coupled to the Ras, Cdc42/Rac/RhoG, MAPK, PI 3-K and PLCgamma signalingpathways. There are four members of the Trk family; TrkA, TrkB and TrkC and a related p75NTR receptor.p75NTR lacks tyrosine kinase activity and signals via NF-kappaB activation. Each family member bindsdifferent neurotrophins with varying affinities. TrkA potently binds nerve growth factor (NGF) and isinvolved in differentiation and survival of neurons and in control of gene expression of enzymes involved inneurotransmitter synthesis. TrkB has highest affinity for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and isinvolved in neuronal plasticity, longterm potentiation and apoptosis of CNS neurons. TrkC is activated byneurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and is found on proprioceptive sensory neurons. p75NTR binds neurotrophin precursorswith high affinity and retains low affinity to the mature cleaved forms. TrkA was originally identified asan oncogene as it is commonly mutated in cancers, particularly colon and thyroid carcinomas. Gene Wiki entry for BDNF (Brain-derived neurotrophic factor)

About This Section UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: BDNF_HUMAN, P23560 Polymorphism : Variations in BDNF are associated with susceptibility to bulimia nervosa 2 (BULN2) [MIM:610269]. Severalgenes with an essential role in the regulation of eating behavior and body weight are considered candidates involved in the etiology of eating disorders (ED), but no relevant susceptibility genes with a major effect on anorexia nervosa (AN) or bulimia nervosa (BN) have been identified. BDNF has been implicated in the regulation of food intake and body weight in rodents. A strong association has been reported of the Met-66 allele of the Val-66-Met BDNF variant with restricting AN (ANR) and low minimum body mass index in Spanish patients. Met-66 variant is strongly associated to all ED subtypes (AN, ANR, binge-eating/purging AN and BN) in European patients. Another single nucleotide polymorphism located in the promoter region of the BDNF gene showed an effect on BN and late age at onset of weight loss. These are two variants associated with the pathophysiology of ED in different populations. These variants support a role for BDNF in the susceptibility to aberrant eating behaviors

Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) [MIM:209880]; also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases 20/176 diseases for BDNF (see all 176 ): About MalaCards obsessive-compulsive disorder, protection against obsessive-compulsive disorder mood disorder bulimia nervosa, age of onset of weight loss in anxiety-related personality traits huntington's disease post-traumatic stress disorder landau-kleffner syndrome attention deficit hyperactivity disorder central hypoventilation syndrome transient global amnesia memory impairment bulimia nervosa spinal cord injury normal pressure hydrocephalus relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis cannabis abuse aids dementia complex anorexia nervosa status epilepticus 17 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for BDNF :Schizophrenia Alzheimer's disease Parkinson's disease Huntington's disease Toxic encephalopathy Rett syndrome Cerebrovascular accident Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis Autistic disorder Neuroblastoma Multiple sclerosis Glaucoma Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Brain ischemia Bipolar disorder Neuropathy Anxiety disorder 10/91 Novoseek disease relationships for BDNF gene (see all 91 ) About this table
