| Target Function | Glial Cell-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) plays multiple roles in neuronal development, maintenance, and repair. GDNF is produced by astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, motor neurons, and skeletal muscle to regulate the survival of motor neurons and differentiation dopaminergic neurons during development and to protect against subsequent neurodegeneration. GDNF production in Sertoli cells regulates male germ cell proliferation and differentiation. In cell culture, GDNF is often used to differentiate human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) progenitors into astrocytes and neurons. GDNF is also used to maintain survival and growth of neurons and astrocytes in culture. Under further culture conditions, GDNF is able to contribute to the maintenance and differentiation of dopaminergic neurons. GDNF signaling takes places by binding to the receptor, GFR alpha1, and forming a complex with RET. |
| Tissue Specificity | GDNF expression has been identified in brain (astrocytes, neurons, substantia nigra), kidney, skeletal muscle, testes, and colon. |
| Cellular Localization | Secreted protein |
| Involvement In Disease | Dysregulation of GDNF is associated with Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington’s disease, depression, and drug and alcohol addiction. |
