CC   -!- FUNCTION: Nerve growth factor is important for the development and
CC       maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. It
CC       stimulates division and differentiation of sympathetic and embryonic
CC       sensory neurons as well as basal forebrain cholinergic neurons in the
CC       brain. Its relevance in the snake venom is not clear. However, it has
CC       been shown to inhibit metalloproteinase-dependent proteolysis of
CC       platelet glycoprotein Ib alpha, suggesting a metalloproteinase
CC       inhibition to prevent metalloprotease autodigestion and/or protection
CC       against prey proteases (By similarity). Binds a lipid between the two
CC       protein chains in the homodimer. The lipid-bound form promotes
CC       histamine relase from mouse mast cells, contrary to the lipid-free form
CC       (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61898,
CC       ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61899}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer; non-covalently linked.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61898}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P61898}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed by the venom gland.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family. {ECO:0000305}.
