Immunogens

Gene(ID):
Description:
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a small, secreted protein and member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors that promote neuronal cell survival and differentiation (1). Producing cells release NGF that bind and activate TrkA high affinity receptors to mediate NGF-driven signaling. NGF also binds to a low affinity p75 (NTR) receptors, which belong to the death receptor family (2). Although NGF has been classically described as favoring neuron survival and differentiation, nerve growth factor can promote apoptosis in cells that contain p75 (NTR) and lack TrkA. NGF can induce neuron death in a variety of neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer disease (3). Besides its neurotrophic actions, NGF has an effect on non-neuronal cells and may help mediate inflammation, angiogenesis, and stimulate breast cancer cell growth (4-6). NGF signaling is looking increasingly promising as potential drug targets for diseases.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Nerve growth factor is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. Extracellular ligand for the NTRK1 and NGFR receptors, activates cellular signaling cascades to regulate neuronal proliferation, differentiation and survival (Probable). The immature NGF precursor (proNGF) functions as ligand for the heterodimeric receptor formed by SORCS2 and NGFR, and activates cellular signaling cascades that lead to inactivation of RAC1 and/or RAC2, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and neuronal growth cone collapse. In contrast to mature NGF, the precursor form (proNGF) promotes neuronal apoptosis (in vitro) (By similarity). Inhibits metalloproteinase-dependent proteolysis of platelet glycoprotein VI. Binds lysophosphatidylinositol and lysophosphatidylserine between the two chains of the homodimer. The lipid-bound form promotes histamine relase from mast cells, contrary to the lipid-free form (By similarity).

Subcellular Location:

Secreted. Endosome lumen.
Note: ProNGF is endocytosed after binding to the cell surface receptor formed by SORT1 and NGFR.

Subunit Structure:

Homodimer. The homodimer interacts with a single NTRK1 chain. The homodimer interacts with a single NGFR chain. The NGF dimer interacts with a single SORCS2 chain (via extracellular domain) (By similarity). The NGF precursor (proNGF) binds to a receptor complex formed by SORT1 and NGFR, which leads to NGF endocytosis. Both mature NGF and the immature NGF precursor (proNGF) interact with SORCS2 and with the heterodimer formed by SORCS2 and NGFR (via extracellular domains) (By similarity). The NGF precursor (proNGF) has much higher affinity for SORCS2 than mature NGF. The NGF precursor (proNGF) has much higher affinity for SORT1 than mature NGF (By similarity). Interacts with ADAM10 in a divalent cation-dependent manner.

Family&Domains:

Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Figure 3—Exogenous MANF promoted corneal nerve regeneration and BDNF and NGF expression. Normal and diabetic corneas pretreated through subconjunctival injection with PBS (as the control) or rhMANF 24 h before, 0 h, and 24 h after removal of the corneal epithelium. At 48 h, corneal epithelial cells were collected for Western blotting. At 5 days postwounding, corneal whole-mount staining was performed to observe nerve regeneration. Corneal sensation was tested before epithelium debridement until 7 days postwounding. To observe nerve regeneration and corneal sensation, another injection was performed at 48 h postwounding. A: Staining for b-tubulin III was performed, and images of the entire cornea were captured as shown in the top panels, with central cornea images shown in the bottom panels. B: Nerve densities of entire corneas (A, top panels) were calculated from the areas staining positive for b-tubulin III using Image J software (n 5 3). C: Corneal sensation is represented with a line chart (n 5 5). The time immediately before epithelium debridement was defined as 0 h. D: Western blot bands observed with or without rhMANF. Two samples/lane represent each condition, three corneas as one sample. E: Western blot analysis of BDNF expression (n 5 4 samples).
