Neurturin is a neurotrophic peptide encoded by the NRTN gene at 19p13.3. It is known to support the survival of sympathetic neurons. It can be deficient in Hirschsprung disease[1]. It is being tried as a therapy in advanced Parkinsons disease for example being introduced via an adeno-associated type-2 vector[2].
