Summary: Predicted to enable growth factor activity and nerve growth factor receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including ameloblast differentiation; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; and nervous system development. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of programmed cell death; nervous system development; and taste bud development. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and synaptic vesicle. Orthologous to human NTF4 (neurotrophin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
