Nerve growth factor beta (beta-NGF) is a neurotrophic factor that plays critical role in the development and maintenance of sensory and sympathetic neurons. The active form of human beta-NGF is is a noncovalently disulfide-linked homodimer, which is secreted and signals through the low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (LNGFR) and the tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TrkA) to activate PI3K, Ras, and PLC signaling pathways.
