arginine-rich, mutated in early stage tumors-like 1,ARMETL1,ARMET-like protein 1,cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor,conserved dopamine neurotrophic factor.
Trophic factor for dopamine neurons. Prevents the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced degeneration of dopaminergic neurons. When administered after 6-OHDA-lesioning, restores the dopaminergic function and prevents the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra (By similarity).
