Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that regulate the survival, development, and function of neurons.
The term neurotrophin may be used as a synonym for neurotrophic factor, but the term neurotrophin is more generally reserved for four structurally related factors: nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), with neurotrophic factor additionally referring to the GDNF family of ligands and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF).
