NGF R, Human

NGF Receptor, also known as Gp80-LNGFR, p75 ICD, CD271 and TNFRSF16, is a type I transmembrane protein belonging to the TNF receptor family. It is expressed by both neuronal and non-neuronal cells. Signaling through NGF Receptor has been shown to regulate gene expression, cell migration and death. A truncated NGF Receptor containing only the extracellular domain has been detected in plasma, amniotic fluid and urine, and acts as a potent NGF antagonist.
