Protein Function
Target-derived survival factor for peripheral sensory sympathetic neurons.
Background
Neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), also known as neurotrophin-5 (NT-5), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NTF4 gene. Human NT-4 as well as a human NT-4 pseudogene colocalize to chromosome 19 band q13.3. NT-4 is a member of a family of neurotrophic factors, the neurotrophins, that control survival and differentiation of vertebrate neurons (2-4). NT-4 is a neurotrophic factor that signals predominantly through the TrkB receptor tyrosine kinase. NT4 plays a physiological role essential for hippocampus- and amygdala-dependent long-term memory and hippocampal long-lasting LTP and that NT4 may be useful in the therapy of acquired disorders of leaing and memory.
