NGF is a key factor in the survival and differentiation of neurons in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Like many other neurotrophins, mature NGF arises from the proteolytic cleavage of its precursor form (proNGF) by various proteases. It has been found that proNGF, and not mature NGF, is thenpredominant isoform found in the human brain as well as in a variety of cell types, including mast cells, sciatic nerve cells, thyroid gland, skeletal muscle, prostate gland, hippocampus and hair follicle. The mouse salivary gland is the most abundant source of mature NGF. NGF can be secreted as proNGF or mature NGF, each with distinct binding preferences for p75NTR,Trk-family receptors and sortilin.
