Neurotrophin-4Neurotrophin-4

Neurotrophin-4 (NFT-4) is a neuronal growth factor that influences nerve cell proliferation through selective and non-covalent interactions with the nerve growth factor receptor.


Function

NFT-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:

NFT-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 NFT-4 binding. Neuron projection morphogenesis: Generating projection structures of a neuron,. Ganglion mother cell fate determination, epidermis development, innervation Nerve invading tissue and coming out
