NTN4

NTN4, also known as Netrin-4, is a protein with several common aliases. This protein plays a crucial role in axon guidance and neural development. It binds to specific receptors, influencing cell adhesion and migration. In terms of signaling pathways, it is involved in the UNC5 and DCC receptor - mediated pathways. NTN4 dysregulation has been associated with neurological disorders and some types of cancers.
Regarding drug development, research is underway to target the NTN4 - related pathways. Scientists aim to develop drugs that can modulate its function to treat associated diseases. Although there are currently no approved drugs, pre - clinical studies show potential in regulating NTN4 for therapeutic benefits.
