Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.9Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function GDNF_RAT Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. May also modulate local neuronal effects in distal regions of the motor neuron. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed The crystal structure of glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) reveals two independent copies of the dimer that differ significantly through a hinge bending at the central, disulphide-rich region. GDNF is compared with other members of the TGF-beta family, and potential receptor binding surfaces are identified.
