Nerve growth factor revisited
Trends Biochem Sci.
1993 Feb.
Abstract
Recent studies on nerve growth factor have revealed important new insights into the structure, function and evolution of this prototypical neurotrophic factor. Some of its features are (1) it has a unique three-dimensional fold that has since been found in two other growth factors, (2) it uses the trk proto-oncogene product, which has a tyrosine kinase, as a receptor and (3) it shares homology with at least three other factors, now collectively called neurotrophins, which have a spectrum of target cells.
