{"symbol":"NTF4","synonyms":["NT-4","GLC10","NT-4/5","GLC1O","NT-5","NTF5","NT4"],"name":"neurotrophin 4","description":"This gene is a member of a family of neurotrophic factors, neurotrophins, that control survival and differentiation of mammalian neurons. The expression of this gene is ubiquitous and less influenced by environmental signals. While knock-outs of other neurotrophins including nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and neurotrophin 3  prove lethal during early postnatal development, NTF5-deficient mice only show minor cellular deficits and develop normally to adulthood.
