Abstract excerpt
Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z (Ptprz/Ptpzeta/RPTPbeta) is a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP) which is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system. Tropomyosin-related kinases (Trks) are single-pass transmembrane molecules that are highly expressed in the developing nervous system. Upon the ligand binding of neurotrophins, Trk receptors are activated through...
