Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a natural protein of the retina with demonstrable neurotrophic properties, found in the interphotoreceptor matrix in intimate contact with photoreceptors. This review summarizes the effects of PEDF on photoreceptors in several animal models of retinal degeneration.
色素上皮衍生因子(PEDF)是视网膜中的一种天然蛋白质,具有明显的神经营养特性,存在于与光感受器紧密接触的光感受器间基质中。本综述总结了PEDF在几种视网膜变性动物模型中对光感受器的作用。
