Biological process

Exact synonym

NGF signaling pathway, nerve growth factor signalling pathway

Description

The series of molecular signals initiated by nerve growth factor (NGF) binding to its receptor on the surface of a target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.

Comment

Nerve growth factor (NGF) binds at least two classes of receptors: the p75 LNGFR (low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor) and TrkA, a transmembrane tyrosine kinase.
