| Gene ID | 4803 |
| Accession | P01138 |
| Alternative Name | ?-NGF, Nerve Growth Factor |
| Species | Human |
| Source | E. coli |
| Description | ?-NGF is a potent neurotrophic factor that plays a crucial role in the development and preservation of the sensory and sympathetic nervous systems. ?-NGF also acts as a growth and differentiation factor for B lymphocytes and enhances B-cell survival. ?-NGF belongs to the cysteine-knot family of growth factors that assume stable, disulfide-linked homodimeric structures. Recombinant human ?-NGF shares approximately 90% homology with both the mouse and rat ?NGF at the primary level. |
