BDNF regulates neuronal survival, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. It affects the release of excitatory neurotransmitters and has been found to affect cardiovascular development and function. Like many other neurotrophins, BDNF is a cleavage product of the BDNF precursor proBDNF. This precursor may be cleaved by various proteases, intracellularly by furin and extracellularly by several proteases including prohormone convertases, plasminogen activator, MMP-3 and MMP-7 in vitro.nTwo different trans-membrane receptor proteins mediate BDNF and proBDNF signal transduction: the TrkB, and the pan-neurotrophic receptor p75NTR.4 ProBDNF has been demonstrated to induce TrkB phosphorylation in vitro and to bind p75NTR and sortilin to promote apoptosis.
