Abstract excerpt
The neurotrophins mediate their effects through binding to two classes of receptors, a tyrosine kinase receptor, member of the Trk family, and the low-affinity neurotrophin receptor, p75LNGFR, of as yet undefined signalling capacity. The need for a two-component receptor system in neurotrophin si...
