Function
function
Important signaling molecule that activates signaling cascades downstream of NTRK2 (By similarity).
During development, promotes the survival and differentiation of selected neuronal populations of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Participates in axonal growth, pathfinding and in the modulation of dendritic growth and morphology. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability (By similarity).

Neurotrophic factor BDNF precursor form
Important signaling molecule that activates signaling cascades downstream of NTRK2. Activates signaling cascades via the heterodimeric receptor formed by NGFR and SORCS2. Signaling via NGFR and SORCS2 plays a role in synaptic plasticity and long-term depression (LTD). Binding to NGFR and SORCS2 promotes neuronal apoptosis. Promotes neuronal growth cone collapse.

Neurotrophic factor BDNF precursor form
N-glycosylated and glycosulfated, contrary to mature BDNF.
Mature BDNF is produced by proteolytic removal of the propeptide, catalyzed by a FURIN family member. In addition, the precursor form is proteolytically cleaved within the propeptide, but this is not an obligatory intermediate for the production of mature BDNF. Can be converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG).

Interaction
Subunit
Monomers and homodimers (By similarity).
Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. Can form heterodimers with other neurotrophin family members, such as NTF3 and NTF4 (in vitro), but the physiological relevance of this is not clear (By similarity).
BDNF precursor form: interacts with the heterodimer formed by NGFR and SORCS2. Mature BDNF has much lower affinity for the heterodimer formed by NGFR and SORCS2 (By similarity).
