Abstract excerpt
Neurotrophins exert their biological functions on neuronal cells through two types of receptors, the trk tyrosine kinases and the low-affinity neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR), which can bind all neurotrophins with similar affinity. The p75NTR is highly expressed in developing motoneurons and in adult motoneurons after axotomy, suggestive of a physiological role in mediating neurotrophin responses under such...
