About NGF

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

NGF is a neurotrophin required for development and maintenance of sympathetic and sensory neurons. Mature NGF signals through NTRK1 and NGFR to regulate neuronal survival, differentiation and growth.

Experimental context

Research context

NGF is studied in neuronal survival, sensory and sympathetic nervous-system biology, neurotrophin receptor signalling and models of neural development and injury.
