Neuregulin-4/NRG4 Protein, Human

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

Neuregulin-4 (NRG4) Protein, a low-affinity ligand for the ERBB4 tyrosine kinase receptor, serves as a signaling molecule that recruits ERBB1 and ERBB2 coreceptors. This recruitment leads to ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the ERBB receptors. NRG4 specifically interacts with the ERBB4 receptor, mediating cellular responses through its activation, without binding to ERBB1, ERBB2, and ERBB3 receptors. Neuregulin-4/NRG4 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived Neuregulin-4/NRG4 protein, expressed by E. coli, with tag free.

Description

Neuregulin-4 (NRG4) Protein, a low-affinity ligand for the ERBB4 tyrosine kinase receptor, serves as a signaling molecule that recruits ERBB1 and ERBB2 coreceptors. This recruitment leads to ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of the ERBB receptors. NRG4 specifically interacts with the ERBB4 receptor, mediating cellular responses through its activation, without binding to ERBB1, ERBB2, and ERBB3 receptors. Neuregulin-4/NRG4 Protein, Human is the recombinant human-derived Neuregulin-4/NRG4 protein, expressed by E. coli, with tag free.

Background

Neuregulin-4 (NRG4), a low-affinity ligand for the ERBB4 tyrosine kinase receptor, acts as a signaling molecule that simultaneously recruits ERBB1 and ERBB2 coreceptors. This recruitment leads to ligand-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation and subsequent activation of the ERBB receptors. Notably, NRG4 does not bind to the ERBB1, ERBB2, and ERBB3 receptors. It specifically interacts with the ERBB4 receptor, playing a role in mediating cellular responses through the activation of this particular receptor.
