Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the role(s) of conserved sequences in the extracellular domain of rat trkA by generating 5' and 3' deletions and assaying changes in neurotrophin binding, tyrosine kinase activity, and neurite outgrowth. Essential sequences required for both nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) binding were mapped to the immunoglobulin-like domains. Small deletions in the second...
