After making neurons, genes {neurotrophic gene} can code for secreted proteins {neurotrophic factor} that keep neurons alive, differentiate neurons, and make neurotransmitters, such as nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), CNTF, and NT-3. Other genes code for neurotrophic-factor receptor proteins.
