NT4 is a member of the neurotrophin family, in knockout animals NT4 deficient mice appeared little changed from wildtype animals, however NT4 is a powerful neurotrophic factor for periferial neuronal ganglia and is capable if sustaining ganglia neurons in vitro. NT4 is closely related to both NGF and BDNF. FUNCTION: Target-derived survival factor for peripheral sensory sympathetic neurons. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highest levels in prostate, lower levels in thymus, placenta, and skeletal muscle. Expressed in embryonic and adult tissues. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.
The antibody reacts with human and mouse NT-4//5 proteins and likely with other species based upon homology. The antibody has not been tested in IHC or western blot
