About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for GDNF:
This gene encodes a highly conserved neurotrophic factor. The recombinant form of this protein was shown to promote the
survival and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons in culture, and was able to prevent apoptosis of motor neurons
induced by axotomy. The encoded protein is processed to a mature secreted form that exists as a homodimer. The mature
form of the protein is a ligand for the product of the RET (rearranged during transfection) protooncogene. Multiple
transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Mutations in this gene may be
associated with Hirschsprung disease. (provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GDNF_HUMAN, P39905
Function: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and
increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake

    Tissue specificity: In the brain, predominantly expressed in the striatum with highest levels in the caudate and lowest
    in the putamen. Isoform 2 is absent from most tissues except for low levels in intestine and kidney. Highest
    expression of isoform 3 is found in pancreatic islets. Isoform 5 is expressed at very low levels in putamen, nucleus
    accumbens, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hypothalamus and intestine. Isoform 3 is up-regulated in the middle temporal
    gyrus of Alzheimer disease patients while isoform 2 shows no change

  • Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease type 3 (HSCR3) [MIM:613711]. In association with
  • mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest
    development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal
    obstruction
  • Defects in GDNF 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
