KEK-6: A TRUNCATED-TRK-LIKE RECEPTOR FOR <i>DROSOPHILA</i> NEUROTROPHIN 2 REGULATES STRUCTURAL SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY
2017-04-06
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Neurotrophism, structural plasticity, learning and long-term memory in mammals critically depend on neurotrophins binding Trk receptors to activate tyrosine kinase (TyrK) signalling, but Drosophila lacks full-length Trks, raising the question of how these processes occur in the fly. Paradoxically, truncated Trk isoforms lacking the TyrK predominate in the adult human brain, but whether they hav...
