def: "Interacting selectively and non-covalently with neurotrophin, any of a family of growth factors that block apoptosis in neurons and thus promote nerve growth." [GOC:jl, http://www.mercksource.com/]
comment: Note that mammalian NT-5 was initially named differently from amphibian NT-4 because of sequence differences, but the two genes were later shown to be functionally equivalent [SF:919858].
