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.

Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by intraneuronal inclusions of hyperphosphorylated tau protein and abnormal expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key modulator of neuronal survival and function.
