How OXERVATE Works

Cenegermin-bkbj acts as a recombinant form of human nerve growth factor, an endogenous protein involved in the differentiation and maintenance of neurons. The drug targets specific high-affinity (TrkA) and low-affinity (p75NTR) nerve growth factor receptors located in the anterior segment of the eye. By interacting with these receptors, the medication supports corneal innervation and maintains the integrity of the ocular surface.
