?-Nerve growth factor (?-NGF) is a neurotrophin that is involved in the regulation of growth, proliferation, and survival of sympathetic and sensory neurons.{53786} NGF encodes pro-NGF that is composed of an N-terminal signal peptide and ?-, ?-, and ?-NGF domains. ?-NGF, also known as mature or functional NGF, is produced after degradation of the signaling peptide and proteolytic cleavage of pro-NGF at Ser122.{53789,53787} ?-NGF homodimerizes and induces neurotropic signaling through tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA) and the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR).{53787} ?-NGF is produced by neurons in the cortex, pituitary gland, hippocampus, basal ganglia, thalamus, spinal cord, and retina, as well as in non-neuronal target cells of sympathetic and sensory neurons such as keratinocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, exocrine salivary glands, and endocrine tissues.{53787,53788} Exogenous administration of ?-NGF improves neurological deficits in murine models of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and ?-NGF levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of TBI patients are positively correlated with neurological outcomes.{53787} Exogenous administration of ?-NGF also accelerates the rate of skin excision wound healing in rats. Cayman’s ?-NGF (human, recombinant) protein can be used for cell-based assay applications. This protein consists of 118 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 13.2 kDa.
