Swedish Nerve Growth Factor Mutation (NGF R100W ) Defines a Role for TrkA and p75 NTR in Nociception
26 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Nerve growth factor (NGF) exerts multiple functions on target neurons throughout development. The recent discovery of a point mutation leading to a change from arginine to tryptophan at residue 100 in the mature NGFβ sequence (NGF R100W ) in patients with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type V (HSAN V) made it possible to distinguish the signaling mechanisms that lead to two functionally different...
