| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | This gene is a member of the NGF-beta family and encodes a secreted protein which homodimerizes and is incorporated into a larger complex. This protein has nerve growth stimulating activity and the complex is involved in the regulation of growth and the differentiation of sympathetic and certain sensory neurons. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, type 5 (HSAN5), and dysregulation of this genes expression is associated with allergic rhinitis. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: P01138 # Nerve growth factor is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. It stimulates division and differentiation of sympathetic and embryonic sensory neurons. SIZE: 241 amino acids; 26959 Da SUBUNIT: Homodimer. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. DISEASE: SwissProt: P01138 # Defects in NGFB are the cause of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 5 (HSAN5) [MIM:608654]. Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies are characterized by loss of pain sensation in combination with other sensory and/or autonomic abnormalities. HSAN5 patients manifest loss of pain perception and impaired temperature sensitivity, ulcers, and in some cases self- mutilation. The autonomic involvement is variable. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P01138 ## Belongs to the NGF-beta family. |
