Function
NT-4 could play a role in oogenesis and/or early embryogenesis. NT-4 interacts with the low affinity NGF receptor and elicits neurite outgrowth from explanted dorsal root ganglia with no and lower activity in sympathetic and nodose ganglia, respectively.
Similarity
Belongs to the NGF-beta family.
