Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2668
Gene name Glial cell derived neurotrophic factor
Gene symbol GDNF
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ATFATF1ATF2HFB1-GDNFHSCR3
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5p13.2
Summary This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate
