GenAge entry for NGF (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 31)

HGNC symbol
NGF 
Aliases
NGFB 
Common name
nerve growth factor (beta polypeptide) 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

A neurotrophin important for the development and maintenance of the central nervous system, NGF stimulates division and differentiation [319]. It has been linked with neurodegenerative age-related pathology [318].
