Abstract:
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)is both a neurotrophic substance and a neurotransmitter.BDNF and its receptors are highly expressed in enteric nervous system,intestinal mucosal epithelium and intestinal muscularis, which play an important role in regulating intestinal sensitivity and motility.This article reviewed the expression and role of BDNF in intestinal tract.
