nerve growth factor |
| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable nerve growth factor receptor binding activity; peptidase regulator activity; and signaling receptor activator activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and response to ozone. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; positive regulation of neurotrophin TRK receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of protein autophosphorylation. Located in extracellular space. Used to study bladder neck obstruction; cystitis; degenerative disc disease; and neurogenic bladder. Biomarker of several diseases, including diabetic neuropathy; hyperhomocysteinemia; mental depression; myofascial pain syndrome; and respiratory syncytial virus infectious disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in IgA glomerulonephritis; asthma; end stage renal disease; hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 5; and interstitial cystitis. Orthologous to human NGF (nerve growth factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
