Neuregulin 4also known asNRG4is a member of theneuregulin proteinfamily which in humans is encoded by theNRG4gene.^[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 advancedbladder cancerwhile increased NRG4 expression correlates to better survival.^[8]
