Recombinant Human Beta-NGF Protein

β-NGF, also known as mature or functional NGF, is produced after degradation of the signaling peptide and proteolytic cleavage of pro-NGF at Ser122. β-NGF homodimerizes and induces neurotropic signaling through tropomyosin-related kinase A (TrkA) and the p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR) .
