Rab11 rescues synaptic dysfunction and behavioural deficits in a Drosophila model of Huntington's disease.

abstract：:Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), a distant member of the TGF-beta superfamily, is a survival factor for various neurons, making it a potential therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative disorders. Here we present the genomic structure and characterization of the promoter of the human GDNF (hGDNF) gene....
