Product Overview:
β-Nerve growth factor (β-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 α-, γ-, and β-NGF domains. β-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} β-NGF homodimerizes and induces neurotropic signaling through tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA) and the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR).{53787} β-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 β-NGF improves neurological deficits in murine models of traumatic brain injury (TBI), and β-NGF levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of TBI patients are positively correlated with neurological outcomes.{53787} Exogenous administration of β-NGF also accelerates the rate of skin excision wound healing in rats. Cayman’s β-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.

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
