Neurotrophin 3
Expressed in brain and peripheral tissues, human NTF3 Gene (NGF-Beta Family) encodes secreted 257-aa 29-kDa (precursor) Neurotrophin 3, a neurotrophin closely related to NGF and BDNF that seems to control survival and differentiation of neurons and may be involved in maintenance of adult nervous system. The mature NTF3 peptide is identical in all mammals examined including human, pig, rat, and mouse. (NCI Thesaurus)
