GENE - TERM ANNOTATION REPORT

RGD ID: 12486175
Species: Ictidomys tridecemlineatus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Bdnf
Name: brain derived neurotrophic factor
Acc ID: DOID:9002955
Term: Nerve Degeneration
Definition: Loss of functional activity and trophic degeneration of nerve axons and their terminal arborizations following the destruction of their cells of origin or interruption of their continuity with these cells. The pathology is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. Often the process of nerve degeneration is studied in research on neuroanatomical localization and correlation of the neurophysiology of neural pathways.
Definition Source(s): MESH:D009410
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
