gene geneOn this page
Summary
NTN4 (netrin 4, HGNC:13658) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q22, encoding Netrin-4 (Q9HB63). May play an important role in neural, kidney and vascular development.
This gene encodes a member of the netrin family of proteins, which function in various biological processes including axon guidance, tumorogenesis, and angiogenesis. Netrins are laminin-related proteins that have an N-terminal laminin-type domain, epidermal growth factor-like repeat domain, and a positively charged heparin-binding domain at the C-terminus. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in processes including neurite growth and migration, angiogenesis and mural cell adhesion to endothelial cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 28 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
