Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on neuregulins (NRGs) that are the signaling
proteins that mediate cell–cell interactions in the nervous system, heart, breast, and other …

The role of neurotrophic factors in the maintenance and survival of peripheral neuronal cells
has been the subject of numerous studies. Administration of exogenous neurotrophic factors …

Neuregulins (ie neuregulin-1 (NRG1), also called neu differentiation factor, heregulin, glial
growth factor, and acetylcholine receptor-inducing activity) are known to induce growth and …

Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is a trophic factor thought to play a role in neural development. Recent
studies suggest that it may regulate neurotransmission, mechanisms of which remain …

Poor functional recovery after peripheral nerve injury has been generally attributed to
inability of denervated muscles to accept reinnervation and recover from denervation …

The neuregulins (NRGs) are a family of multipotent epidermal-growth-factor-like (EGF-like)
factors that arise from splice variants of a single gene. They influence the growth …

Neuregulin (also known as NDF, heregulin, ARIA, GGF or SMDF), induces cell growth and
differentiation. Biological effects of neuregulin are mediated by members of the erbB family …

Neuregulins (NRGs) and their receptors, the ErbB protein tyrosine kinases, are essential for
neuronal development, but their functions in the adult CNS are unknown. We report that …

Neuregulin-1 (Nrg1) provides a key axonal signal that regulates Schwann cell proliferation,
migration and myelination through binding to ErbB2/3 receptors. The analysis of a number of …

Neuregulins are EGF-like growth and differentiation factors that interact with tyrosine kinase
receptors of the ErbB family. Neuregulin signals are also involved in the development …
