Abstract

In the present paper recent data of the structure, regulation of production and mechanisms of action of the nerve growth factor and other proteins of well documented neurotrophic influence were reviewed. The purpose of this article was also to discuss the possible role of these molecules in the pathogenesis of some neurological diseases and their potential therapeutic importance.
