Nerve Growth Factor (NGF-β) is a neurotrophic factor related to BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4. NGF-β acts through its receptor β-NGFR, and is involved in the development and maintenance of the sensory and sympathetic nervous systems. NGF-β is also involved in the growth, differentiation and survival of B lymphocytes. Human, mouse and rat proteins show cross-reactivity. Recombinant human NGF-β is a non-covalently linked homodimer, containing two 121 amino acid chains, with a total molecular weight of 27.2 kDa.
