NRTN - neurturin Gene
Also Known as NTN
Species: Homo sapiens
About NRTN
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 208 orthologues, 3 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 1.6), heart (RPKM 1.4) and 18 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein. This protein signals through the RET receptor tyrosine kinase and a GPI-linked coreceptor, and promotes survival of neuronal populations. A Neurturin mutation has been described in a family with Hirschsprung Disease. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
