Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the structure of nerve growth factor (NGF). The amino acid sequence of mouse NGF exhibited significant structural relatedness with the family of insulins and proinsulins. The sequence of mouse NGF could be aligned with human proinsulin with only five deletions required to yield the maximum homology of 21 ...

Nerve growth factor and asthma
Allergy, 2002An increasing body of evidence shows that nerve growth factor (NGF) exerts biological activity not only on the central and peripheral nervous system, but also on the immune system thereby influencing allergic diseases and asthma.(1) NGF circulating levels are increased in patients with allergic diseases and asthma, and are related to the severity of ...

Publisher Summary Nerve growth factor (NGF) is one of an increasing number of growth factors that has been recognized as being essential for the survival and maintenance of specific types of cells. This chapter discusses the nerve growth factor from mouse submaxillary gland, the high molecular weight form of NGF (7 S NGF), the biosynthesis of NGF ...

Ciba Foundation symposium, 1985
In contrast to all other molecules which are labelled 'growth factor', NGF is not a mitogen. It is a neurotrophic molecule essential for the development and maintenance of function of specific populations of peripheral and possibly also central neurons. The availability of NGF in large quantities from exocrine glands (e.g.

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 ...

Nerve growth factor as an angiogenic factor
Microvascular Research, 2008Nerve growth factor (NGF), a neurotrophin that plays a crucial role in promoting neurotrophic and neurotropic effects in sympathetic neurons, has recently been identified as a novel angiogenic molecule, which exerts a variety of effects in the cardiovascular system and on endothelial cells.

Growth regulation by nerve growth factor
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1979Although a great deal of descriptive information has been obtained about the actions of nerve growth factor on its target tissues, its structure, its receptors, and even its biosynthesis, there is no clear understanding, as yet, of the intracellular events mediating its transcriptional involvements.

chapter 6 Nerve Growth Factors and Control of Nerve Growth
1980Publisher Summary This chapter surveys developmental observations indicating the occurrence of target derived signals that permit a neuron to survive at and beyond a critical time in its life course. It introduces and illustrates the concepts of a trophic drive responsible for both survival and growth supportive production, and of specifying ...
