Structural highlights
DiseaseMANF_HUMAN Familial pancreatic carcinoma. FunctionMANF_HUMAN Selectively promotes the survival of dopaminergic neurons of the ventral mid-brain. Modulates GABAergic transmission to the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. Enhances spontaneous, as well as evoked, GABAergic inhibitory postsynaptic currents in dopaminergic neurons (By similarity). Inhibits cell proliferation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced cell death.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
