GDNF family of ligands
PROTEIN FAMILY
Glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor family ligands; GDNF-family ligand; GDNF family ligand; GDNF family ligands; GDNF-family ligands
The GDNF family of ligands (GFL) consists of four neurotrophic factors: glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), neurturin (NRTN), artemin (ARTN), and persephin (PSPN). GFLs have been shown to play a role in a number of biological processes including cell survival, neurite outgrowth, cell differentiation and cell migration.
