Neurotrophin-4
Neurotrophin-4 (NT-4) is a neuronal growth factor that influences nerve cell proliferation through selective and non-covalent interactions with the nerve growth factor receptor.
FunctionNT-4 functions as a growth factor in many biological pathways and processes to induce neuronal proliferation. Biological ProcessesPositive 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 [1], neuron projection morphogenesis: Generating projection structures of a neuron. [2] Ganglion mother cell fate determination, epidermis development, innervation DiseaseNT-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. [3] [4] 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.
