Neurotrophic Factor Secretion
- Molecular classification
- Secretory Process, Cellular Process
01
Overview
Neurotrophic factor secretion refers to the process by which neurotrophic factors—specialized secreted growth factors—are released from cells, primarily neurons and glial cells, to support the survival, differentiation, maintenance, and plasticity of neurons in both the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). These proteins are essential for neural development as well as ongoing neuronal health throughout life. Key neurotrophic factors include NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4/5. Their secretion is crucial for neuronal health and is implicated in various neurological diseases.
