Enables nerve growth factor binding activity. Involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; nervous system development; and response to immobilization stress. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and synaptic vesicle. Biomarker of status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and asthma. Orthologous to human NTF3 (neurotrophin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
