Immunohistochemical localization of nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor in normal skin and melanocytic tumor was analysed using monoclonal antibody. In normal skin and fetal skin NGF receptor was good marker for cutaneous nerve sheath and schwann cells. In melanocytic lineage, the NGF receptor was not expressed in fetal, normal and dermal melanocyte and weakly positive in only small part of nevus cell nest. Positive staining was seen in primary and metastatic melanoma lesion and restricted to melanoma cell membrane. The distribution of the receptor suggests that the NGF-receptor may be involved in the control of proliferation and malignant transformation in melanocytic lineage.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
