Abstract excerpt
We developed a cellular Bioluminescent Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET) assay based on the interaction of TrkB fused to Renilla luciferase with the intracellular adaptor protein Shc fused to Enhanced Yellow Fluorescent Protein (EYFP). The TrkB agonist Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) induced a maximum BRET signal as of 10 min with an EC(50) value of 1.4 nM, similar to the other endogenous agonists NT-3...
