The human BDNF recombinant protein consists of a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain two 119 amino acids (and an N-terminal Met).

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a key protein in neural stem cell research, known for its critical role in promoting the survival, growth, and differentiation of neurons. BDNF enhances the proliferation of neural stem cells and supports their differentiation into functional neurons and glial cells. It also plays a pivotal role in synaptic plasticity, essential for learning and memory. In the context of neural development and repair, BDNF facilitates the regeneration of damaged neural tissues and contributes to the recovery of brain functions after injury. Research into BDNF's mechanisms and applications is crucial for developing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and brain injuries.
