Gene Information

human ... NRG1(3084)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Growth factor ligand for ErbB3 and ErbB4 receptor tyrosine kinases. The binding of HRG results in receptor dimerization and receptor trans-autophosphorylation. The phosphorylated receptors recruit cellular signaling proteins, initiating signaling pathways.

Analysis Note

The biological activity is measured by its ability to stimulate the proliferation of human MCF-7 cells grown under serum-free conditions.

Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) is a leading schizophrenia susceptibility gene. The NRG1 locus on chromosome 8p shows linkage to the disorder, and genetic association has been found between schizophrenia and various non-coding polymorphisms and haplotypes, especially at the 5' end of

After peripheral nerve injury, Schwann cells gain a migratory phenotype and remodel their extracellular matrix to provide a supportive environment for axonal regeneration. The soluble neuregulin-1 isoform, that is, glial growth factor (GGF), is expressed in regenerating axons of injured
