We describe here the function and structure of the precursor of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein involved in the development of the nervous system and in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. We found that the region preceding mature NGF has an independent function and is disordered and flexible.

Abstract

We describe here the function and structure of the precursor of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein involved in the development of the nervous system and in diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. We found that the region preceding mature NGF has an independent function and is disordered and flexible.
