GMFB Protein Description

GMFB is a member of the actin-binding proteins ADF family, GMF subfamily. It is a nerve growth factor and contains 1 ADF-H domain. GMFB causes differentiation of brain cells, stimulation of neural regeneration, and inhibition of proliferation of tumor cells. It is phosphorylated after phorbol ester stimulation, and is crucial for the nervous system. GMFB overexpression in astrocytes results in the increase of BDNF production. GMFB expression is increased by exercise, thus BDNF is important for exercise-induction of BDNF.
