NCIt definition : Neurturin (197 aa, 22 kDa) is encoded by the human NRTN gene. This protein may be
involved in both the development of the nervous system and the survival of sympathetic
neurons.;
NCIt note : The active form of neurturin is produced by proteolytic cleavages that remove 95 N-terminal
amino acids from the full length precursor protein. (UniProt); Neurturin signals through RET and a GPI-linked coreceptor. (EntrezGene);
