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 ...

Nerve Growth Factor Receptors in Human Neuroblastoma Cells
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1987AbstractReceptors for the nerve growth factor protein (NGFR) present in the human neuroblastoma cell line LAN‐1 were characterized. LAN‐1 cells display high‐affinity (type I, with KD value of 5.9 × 10‐11M) and low‐affinity (type II, with KD value of 9.2 × 10‐9M) binding to NGF.

Characteristics of Partially Purified Nerve Growth Factor Receptor
Journal of Neurochemistry, 1987Abstract: Receptors for the nerve growth factor protein (NGF) have been isolated from three cell types [embryonic chicken sensory neurons (dorsal root sensory ganglia; DRG), rat pheochromocytoma (PC 12) and human neuroblastoma (LAN‐1) cells] and have been shown to be similar with respect to equilibrium dissociation constants.

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 1992
AbstractGlucocorticoids and nerve growth factor (NGF) have been shown to have antagonistic effects on chromaffin cells in vivo. Here we determined the effect of the synthetic glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, on levels of mRNA for the nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) in rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cells.

Tissue Localization of Nerve Growth Factor and Nerve Growth Factor Receptors
1991The pioneering investigations of Levi-Montalcini and coworkers established that nerve growth factor (NGF) is an important physiological regulator of neurons of the peripheral nervous system. No doubt in part because of the dramatic and specific effects on the sympathetic and sensory nervous system resulting from immunochemically depriving rodents of ...

Expression of nerve growth factor receptor during human peripheral nerve development
Developmental Biology, 1988The expression of NGF receptors on human Schwann cells during development and myelination and in culture was analyzed using a murine monoclonal antibody to human NGF receptor. Nonmyelinated femoral nerves from 13- to 14-week fetuses stained strongly for NGF receptor, whereas tissues from later stages of development showed a decrease in the staining ...
