Neurotrophins: the biological paradox of survival factors eliciting apoptosis.
Cell death and differentiation - 1 May 1998
Casaccia-Bonnefil P, Kong H, Chao M V
Abstract excerpt
Neurotrophins are target-derived soluble polypeptides required for neuronal survival. Binding of neurotrophins to Trk receptor tyrosine kinases initiate signaling cascades that promote cell survival and differentiation. All family members bind to another receptor (p75NTR), which belongs to the tu...
