Description   Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (G-DNF) is a neurotrophic factors belong to TGF-beta super family necessary for neuron survival and phenotypic maintenance in central and peripheral nervous systems. G-DNF has the potent to support the differentiation and survival of many neuron subpopulations, prominent for dopaminergic neurons and motor neurons , as well as Purkinje cells and sympathetic neurons. Sertoli cells, type 1 astrocytes, Schwann cells, neurons, pinealocytes and skeletal muscle cells are known to express GDNF in human . GDNF has shown to interact with GFRA2 and GDNF family receptor alpha 1. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Hirschsprung's disease, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) .
