Nerve growth factor is a polypeptide hormone that is required for the normal growth and development of the embryonic sensory and sympathetic nervous systems. On these cells, there are two different receptors for the nerve growth factor. Recently, these receptors have been isolated from three cell types and shown to have essentially the same binding ...

Receptors for Nerve Growth Factor
1993Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the two receptors for nerve growth factor (NGF)—namely, (1) the low-affinity NGF receptor and (2) the product of the proto-oncogene trk . It also reviews the way they were originally identified and the structural and functional features of the two receptors.

The nerve growth factor family of receptors
Trends in Neurosciences, 1992The neurotrophins, of which nerve growth factor (NGF) is the best known example, support the survival and differentiation of chick embryo sensory neurons at extremely low concentrations, 10(-12) M or less. These same neurons display two different classes of neurotrophin receptors with dissociation constants of 10(-11) M and 10(-9) M, respectively ...

Nerve growth factor and nerve growth factor receptors in respiratory syncytial virus-infected lungs
American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology, 2002Nerve growth factor (NGF) controls sensorineural development and responsiveness and modulates immunoinflammatory reactions. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) potentiates the proinflammatory effects of sensory nerves in rat airways by upregulating the substance P receptor, neurokinin 1 (NK1).

The nerve growth factor/tumor necrosis factor receptor family
Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 1996Abstract Receptors in the nerve growth factor/tumor necrosis factor receptor family are characterized by the presence of cysteine-rich motifs of ~40 amino acids in the extracellular domain. The ligands are type II transmembrane proteins with β-strands that form a jelly-roll β-sandwich.

Nicotine stimulation of nerve growth factor receptor expression
Life Sciences, 1994Previous studies have suggested that nicotine may have beneficial actions in neurodegenerative disease models. The purpose of the experiments described in this study was to determine whether the long lasting and beneficial effects of nicotine observed previously could be expressed through actions upon nerve growth factor (NGF) receptors.

Epidermal growth factor receptor ≠ nerve growth factor
Neurobiology of Aging, 1989I am perplexed by the authors' complete lack of definition of neurotrophic factors. The agents Butcher and Woolf want to blame are neurite promoting factors, not neurotrophic factors. Treatment of Alzheimer's disease with NGF antagonists might instead exacerbate the death of both basal forebrain neurons and their cortical target neurons, accelerating ...
