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.

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.
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.
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 PLCγ 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.
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.
