General description
145 κDa
The Trk (tropomyosin-receptor-kinase) proto-oncogene family of receptor tyrosine kinases contains four members, TrkA, TrkB, TrkC, and TrkE, which are variably expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. TrkB is the high-affinity to the binding brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) receptor and neurotrophin-4/5 NT-4/5). TrkB is autophosphorylated on five cytoplasmic tyrosines. The binding of BDNF to TrkB receptor causes many intercellular cascades to be activated such as promoting survival of sensory neurons mainly through Shc site-independent pathways.The signaling activity of these receptors includes the Ras – MAP kinase pathway, and the PI3 Kinase pathway. These receptors are responsible for resistance to apoptosis, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, and mood disorders.
Immunogen
The entire extracellular domain (corresponding to residues 1–429) of the rat TrkB receptor, expressed in COS cells. The immunizing sequence has 97% identity with mouse TrkB and 88% identity with human TrkB.

By interacting with trkB receptors, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) triggers various signalling pathways responsible for neurone survival, differentiation and modulation of synaptic transmission. Numerous reports have implicated BDNF and trkB in the pathogenesis of various central nervous system affections and
