Full name: nerve growth factor receptor

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CD271; Gp80-LNGFR; TNFRSF16; p75(NTR); p75NTR

Summary: Nerve growth factor receptor contains an extracellular domain containing four 40-amino acid repeats with 6 cysteine residues at conserved positions followed by a serine/threonine-rich region, a single transmembrane domain, and a 155-amino acid cytoplasmic domain. The cysteine-rich region contains the nerve growth factor binding domain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
