Exhibits neurotrophic activity on mesencephalic dopaminergic and motor neurons.
Background
Persephin, also known as PSPN, is a neurotrophic factor in the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family. Neurotrophic factors are important for the proper development and maintenance of the nervous system. These factors promote neuronal survival and can prevent the neuronal degeneration associated with injury, toxin exposure, or neurodegenerative disease. This PSPN gene is mapped to chromosome 19p13.3. The encoded protein has amino acid similarity to its other family members, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and neurturin. This gene product promotes the survival of ventral midbrain dopaminergic neurons in culture and prevents their degeneration after 6-hydroxydopamine treatment in vivo.
