Potential relevance to the human ageing process
- Main reason for selection
- Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
- Description
A receptor that can bind not only NGF but other neurotrophins, such as BDNF, NGFR mediates neural cell survival and is an important player in development. Results from mice suggest it may be related to brain ageing [337], though if and how it impacts on the human ageing process is not known.
