Function NT-4 functions as a growth factor in many biological pathways and processes to induce neuronal proliferation. Biological Processes Positive regulation of neurotrophin TRK receptor signaling pathway: NT-4 functions as a ligand when binding to neurotrophin receptor tyrosine kinase NTRK2. Auto-phosphorylated NTRK2 dimers that are formed on tyrosine residues in receptor tail as a result of NT-4 binding. Adult locomotory behavior , neuron projection morphogenesis: generating projection structures of a neuron, ganglion mother cell fate determination, epidermis development, innervation, long term memory, chemical synaptic transmission modulation and nerve development, mechanoreceptor differentiation, negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process, and positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation, nerve growth signaling pathway, and sensory organ boundary specification (taste bud development). Disease NT-4, along with other growth factors including neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and nerve growth factor (NGF) have all shown to be essential for survival of neurons. These growth factors have been associated with parts of the cerebrum including the frontal lobe and limbic system because of their involvement in neurological processes like behavior, learning, and memory.
