Nerve Growth Factor Receptor (NGFR), also known as p75, P-75NTR, or CD271, is a neurotrophin receptor belonging to the tumour necrosis factor receptor family. It is expressed mainly in Schwann cells and neurons, as well as a number of other non-neuronal cell types, and is also expressed in melanocytes, melanomas, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas, neurofibromas, neurotized nevi (type C melanocytes), and other neural crest cell or tumour derivatives. It has been suggested that NGFR may act as a tumour suppressor indicated in prostate and urothelial cancer, and Anti-NGFR is often used in adjunct with S100, to aid in the diagnosis of desmoplastic and neurotrophic malignant melanomas. Anti-NGFR is also useful as an aid in the diagnosis of breast malignancy, as the antibody labels the myoepithelial cells of breast ducts and intralobular fibroblasts of breast ducts.
