The neuregulins are a diverse family of proteins that play an important role in controlling the growth and differentiation of glial, epithelial and muscle cells. This review describes recent findings of novel neuregulins (NRG2 and NRG3) and summarizes the tissue distribution and receptor interaction of these ligands.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
