Amino acid sequence of nerve growth factor purified from the venom of the Formosan cobra Naja naja atra.
Nerve growth factor (NGF) was isolated from the venom of the Formosan cobra (Naja naja atra). The amino acid sequence was determined by a combination of conventional methods. The total number of amino acid residues was 116, giving a molecular mass of 13,057 Da. The sequence was identical with that deduced from the nucleotide sequence of an NGF cDNA from the venom gland of Naja naja siamensis, reported by Selby et al. [J. Neurosci. Res., 18, 293-298 (1987)].
