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]
