Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
"NRG4" redirects here. For the cannabinoid drug, see
RCS-4 .
Neuregulin 4 also known as NRG4 is a member of the neuregulin protein family which in humans is encoded by the NRG4 gene .[ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
Function
The neuregulins, including NRG4, activate erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 4 (ERBB4 ) to initiating cell signaling through cytosolic tyrosine phosphorylation.[ 7]
Clinical significance
Loss of expression of NRG4 is frequently seen in advanced bladder cancer while increased NRG4 expression correlates to better survival.[ 8]
