摘要: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) regulates the survival and growth of neurons, influences synaptic efficiency plasticity. The human BDNF gene consists 11 exons, distinct transcripts are produced through use alternative promoters splicing events. majority can be detected not only in brain but also blood cells, although no study has yet investigated differential expression at peripheral level. This review provides a description structure as well summary clinical preclinical evidence supporting role pathogenesis psychiatric disorders. We will discuss several mechanisms possibly underlying modulation, including epigenetic mechanisms. potential biomarker for disorders, focusing on factors that influence protein levels. Within this context, we have characterized, believe first time, blood, with aim to provide novel insights into molecular signaling may regulate
