Hormones {nerve growth factor} (NGF) can go into sympathetic-neuron and sense-neuron axon terminals and transport to cell body, where it increases transmitter levels. Olfactory bulb, cerebellum, and striatum make nerve growth factor and nerve growth factor receptor.
enzyme
In hippocampal neurons, NGF increases choline acetyltransferase (CAT), which synthesizes acetylcholine and can reverse poor spatial memory.
disease
NTRK1 gene makes neurotrophin tyrosine kinase receptor type 1. NTRK1 gene mutation causes rare autosomal recessive disease (CIPA) with pain insensitivity, no sweating, self-mutilation, fever, and mental retardation.
