Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * NTF4 is a secreted protein that acts as a growth factor for neurons. * It is a member of the neurotrophin family of growth factors. * NTF4 is known to be a key regulator of neuronal survival, migration, and differentiation. * It is also involved in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and learning and memory. **Pathways and functions:** * NTF4 signaling is initiated by the binding of its ligand, NTF3, to its receptor, NTF4R. * NTF4 then binds to frs2 and frs3, which are adaptor proteins that facilitate the activation of the receptor. * Activation of NTF4 leads to the phosphorylation of p130-Ras, which is a key regulator of cell growth and survival. * Phosphorylated p130-Ras then recruits and activates the serine/threonine kinase Akt, which promotes cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. * NTF4 also activates the PI3K/Akt pathway, which is involved in cell growth, differentiation, and survival. * These pathways work together to ensure the proper development and function of neurons. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in NTF4 have been linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. * NTF4 is a promising target for the treatment of these disorders, as it is highly expressed in neurons and is involved in their survival, growth, and differentiation. * Clinical trials are currently investigating the use of NTF4 inhibitors to treat neurodegenerative diseases.
