Nerve Growth Factor

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: NERVE GROWTH FACTOR is the first of a series of neurotrophic factors that were found to influence the growth and differentiation of sympathetic and sensory neurons. It is comprised of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits. The beta subunit is responsible for its growth stimulating activity.  NERVE GROWTH FACTORS is also available    Other names beta Nerve Growth Factor; NGF 1beta; Factor, beta-Nerve Growth; beta-Nerve Growth Factor; NGF-1beta; Nerve Growth Factor gamma Subunit; Nerve Growth Factor beta Subunit; Nerve Growth Factor alpha Subunit; Nerve Growth Factor 1; NGF
