Activity summary

Pan Trk also known as Pan-tropomyosin receptor kinases are receptors that belong to the neurotrophin receptor family including TrkA TrkB and TrkC. They typically express in neural tissues and play a role in neuronal development and function. The mass of Pan Trk can vary as it encompasses several related proteins rather than a single unit. The variant forms are present in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Researchers often use tags like Pan Trk IHc 555 Pan and Alexa Pan to identify different forms and monitor their expression patterns.

Biological function summary

Pan Trk receptors play a vital role in the survival development and function of neurons by mediating the action of neurotrophins. They participate as part of a receptor complex activated by ligand binding which triggers autophosphorylation. These receptors modulate various processes like neuronal survival and differentiation. Pan Trk signals generally initiate upon binding neurotrophins leading to multiple intracellular events.

Pathways

Pan Trk receptors are central players in signaling pathways such as the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways. These pathways significantly impact cell survival and proliferation. Pan Trk often interacts with proteins like SHC and GRB2 to transmit signals downstream efficiently. These interactions are important for linking the surface receptor activation to the intracellular responses that govern cell growth and survival.

Associated diseases and disorders

Dysregulation or mutations in Pan Trk pathways contribute to neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. For example in neuroblastoma altered Pan Trk expression can modify cell survival signals resulting in tumor growth. These receptors also relate to Alzheimer's disease where Pan Trk dysfunction can affect neuronal resilience and memory pathways. In these disorders Pan Trk associates with various proteins including Tau which can disrupt normal neuronal processes.
