Abstract excerpt
We have cloned and characterized the mouse homolog of the human trk proto-oncogene, a member of the protein tyrosine kinase (TK) receptor gene family. Here, we present the first report of a trk-encoded mRNA species in vivo. In situ hybridization analysis in the mouse embryo reveals a striking temporal and spatial regulation of trk transcription, with expression confined to the sensory cranial (trigeminal,...
