Specific Function Nerve growth factor is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems (PubMed:20036257). Extracellular ligand for the NTRK1 and NGFR receptors, activates cellular signaling cascades to regulate neuronal proliferation, differentiation and survival (PubMed:22649032). The immature NGF precursor (proNGF) functions as ligand for the heterodimeric receptor formed by SORCS2 and NGFR, and activates cellular signaling cascades that lead to inactivation of RAC1 and/or RAC2, reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and neuronal growth cone collapse (PubMed:22155786). In contrast to mature NGF, the precursor form (proNGF) promotes neuronal apoptosis (in vitro) (PubMed:20036257). Inhibits metalloproteinase-dependent proteolysis of platelet glycoprotein VI (By similarity). Binds lysophosphatidylinositol and lysophosphatidylserine between the two chains of the homodimer (PubMed:22649032, PubMed:26144237). The lipid-bound form promotes histamine relase from mast cells, contrary to the lipid-free form (PubMed:22649032).
