The protein expressed by the NTRK2 gene functions as a receptor for BDNF/brain-derived neurotrophic factor and NTF4/neurotrophin-4, and can also bind to NTF3/neurotrophin-3, although this interaction is less efficient. Upon binding with its ligands, the receptor undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation, and activation, enabling it to recruit, phosphorylate, and/or activate several downstream effectors like SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2, and PLCG1. These effectors regulate distinct but overlapping signaling cascades. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, and SH2B2, NTRK2 activates the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade, which regulates neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth, as well as the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade, which is primarily involved in growth and survival. The PLCG1 pathway, which influences synaptic plasticity, plays a role in learning and memory by affecting both short-term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. Additionally, PLCG1 activation leads to NF-Kappa-B activation, promoting the transcription of genes related to cell survival, thereby suppressing anoikis. NTRK2 may also be involved in neurotrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and in mediating communication between neurons and glial cells.

TrkB also known as Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Type 2 (NTRK2) is a cell surface receptor with a mass of approximately 145 kDa. It binds brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and is widely expressed in the central nervous system particularly in areas like the hippocampus cortex and cerebellum. TrkB belongs to the family of receptor tyrosine kinases functioning by catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to specific tyrosine residues on substrate proteins in the receptor triggering downstream signaling cascades.
TrkB plays essential roles in neuronal survival differentiation and synaptic plasticity. It acts as an important mediator for the effects of neurotrophins primarily BDNF on neurons. While TrkB itself is not part of a multi-protein complex it interacts closely with several adaptor proteins post-activation to propagate survival and proliferation signals within the neuron. These biochemical interactions greatly influence neurodevelopment and cognitive functions.
TrkB is a pivotal player in both the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. Upon BDNF binding TrkB undergoes autophosphorylation triggering these pathways which are critically involved in cell survival and growth. Other proteins such as SHC1 and PLCγ interact with TrkB in these pathways extending the range of cellular responses to neurotrophin signaling facilitating processes like neuronal plasticity and memory formation.
TrkB has significant implications in neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease and depression. In Alzheimer's disease alterations in TrkB signaling can result in impaired cognitive functions and neuronal loss where it interacts with proteins like amyloid-beta contributing to disease progression. In depression dysfunctional BDNF-TrkB signaling impacts mood regulation and resilience linking TrkB with alterations in serotonin receptor signaling emphasizing its role in mood disorders.
