Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor encoded by MANF is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and golgi, and is also secreted. Reducing expression of this gene increases susceptibility to ER stress-induced death and results in cell proliferation. Activity of this protein is important in promoting the survival of dopaminergic neurons. The presence of polymorphisms in the N-terminal arginine-rich region, including a specific mutation that changes an ATG start codon to AGG, have been reported in a variety of solid tumors; however, these polymorphisms were later shown to exist in normal tissues and are thus no longer thought to be tumor-related. 蛋白別名為：MANF; ARMET; ARP; Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor; Arginine-rich protein; Protein ARMET;基因ID為：7873；蛋白質ID:P55145
