Human Gene NTF3 (ENST00000423158.4) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens neurotrophin 3 (NTF3), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001102654)
RefSeq Summary (NM_001102654): The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the neurotrophin family, that controls survival and differentiation of mammalian neurons. This protein is closely related to both nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It may be involved in the maintenance of the adult nervous system, and may affect development of neurons in the embryo when it is expressed in human placenta. NTF3-deficient mice generated by gene targeting display severe movement defects of the limbs. The mature peptide of this protein is identical in all mammals examined including human, pig, rat and mouse. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Neurotrophin-3; Short=NT-3; AltName: Full=HDNF; AltName: Full=Nerve growth factor 2; Short=NGF-2; AltName: Full=Neurotrophic factor; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Seems to promote the survival of visceral and proprioceptive sensory neurons.
INTERACTION: P23560:BDNF; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-1025994, EBI-1026003;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Brain and peripheral tissues.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
