neurotrophin binding
ID: GO_0043121
Class
Binding to a neurotrophin, any of a family of growth factors that prevent apoptosis in neurons and promote nerve growth.
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].
