Function

Receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems through regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity (By similarity). Receptor for BDNF/brain-derived neurotrophic factor and NTF4/neurotrophin-4. Alternatively can also bind NTF3/neurotrophin-3 which is less efficient in activating the receptor but regulates neuron survival through NTRK2 (PubMed:7574684, PubMed:15494731). Upon ligand-binding, undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation (PubMed:15494731). Recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 activates the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates for instance neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth. Through the same effectors controls the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that mainly regulates growth and survival. Through PLCG1 and the downstream protein kinase C-regulated pathways controls synaptic plasticity. Thereby, plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. PLCG1 also leads to NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. Hence, it is able to suppress anoikis, the apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions. May also play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia.

Supplementary info

Biological function summary

The Trk receptors bind with neurotrophins such as nerve growth factor (NGF) brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) to initiate signaling that supports neuronal survival and growth. These receptors function as part of a larger receptor-ligand complex. Upon neurotrophin binding the Trk receptors undergo dimerization and transphosphorylation triggering downstream signaling cascades. This activation modulates cellular processes including synaptic strength enhancement and neuronal network formation.

Activity summary

Pan Trk also known as tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) includes three different receptors: TrkA TrkB and TrkC. These belong to the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family each with a mass of roughly 140 kDa. They are mainly expressed in neuronal tissues but can also appear in non-neuronal tissues. The pan Trk term refers to antibodies that detect all three receptors simultaneously. These receptors play an important role in the cellular response to neurotrophins which are essential for differentiation survival and plasticity of neurons.

Pathways

The Trk receptors activate important cellular signaling pathways such as the PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways. These pathways regulate cell survival proliferation and differentiation. The Trk receptors interact with proteins like Shc PLC? and Grb2 which facilitate signal transduction to multiple downstream effectors. This integration into signaling networks allows cross-talk with other signaling molecules and pathways orchestrating complex biological functions.

Associated diseases and disorders

Pan Trk expression links to conditions like neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers. Overexpression or mutation of Trk receptors can lead to oncogenesis particularly in tumor types like gliomas and neuroblastomas. Moreover abnormal Trk signaling has associations with Alzheimer's disease where dysregulated nerve growth factor signaling contributes to neurodegeneration. Targeted therapies and pan Trk inhibitors offer potential treatment strategies for these diseases by modulating receptor activity and correcting signaling pathway imbalances.
