Entrez ID 5623
Gene name Persephin
Gene symbol PSPN
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
PSP
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19p13.3
Summary This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor) subfamily and TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature p

Protein name Persephin (PSP)
Protein function Growth factor that exhibits neurotrophic activity on mesencephalic dopaminergic and motor neurons (PubMed:11116144, PubMed:9491986). Acts by binding to its coreceptor, GFRA4, leading to autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor (Pub
