Abstract excerpt
In this study, we determined if estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) can interact with the full length tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB-TK+), both of which are implicated in schizophrenia pathogenesis. Using neuronal (SHSY5Y) and non-neuronal (CHOK1) cell-lines, we showed that TrkB-TK+ can increase transcription at estrogen response elements (EREs) with and without exogenous estrogen treatment. In the presence of...
