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.
