Human Artemin - Brochure

Artemin is a GDNF family neural growth factor of the TGF-beta superfamily of signalling molecules. GDNF family neural growth factors have neurotrophic properties and have potential use for gene therapy in neurodegenerative diseases. Artemin has been shown in cell culture to support the survival of a number of peripheral neuron populations and at least one population of dopaminergic CNS neurons.
