Abstract excerpt
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tyrosine receptor kinase (TRK) signaling pathway activates a wide range of downstream intracellular cascades, regulating neuronal development and plasticity, long-term potentiation, and apoptosis. The NTRK family encodes the receptors TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC, to which the neurotrophins, nerve growth factor (NGF), BDNF and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) bind, respectively, with high...
