Abstract excerpt
Truncated trkB.T1 (T1) neurotrophin receptor inhibits full-length trkB.TK+ (TK+) signaling. At least two possible mechanisms have been proposed for this action: T1 could trap the ligand or function as a dominant negative receptor. To differentiate between these possibilities we have studied survival of serum-deprived PC12-trkB cells stably expressing TK+. PC12-trkB cells were observed to display constitutive trkB...
