Receptor tyrosine kinase involved in nervous system and probably heart development. Upon binding of its ligand NTF3/neurotrophin-3, NTRK3 autophosphorylates and activates different signaling pathways, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT and the MAPK pathways, that control cell survival and differentiation.
Defects in NTRK3 are associated with susceptibility to congenital heart defects (CHD). A disease characterized by congenital developmental abnormalities involving structures of the heart. CHD are the most common major birth defects and the leading cause of death from congenital malformations.
Ligand-mediated auto-phosphorylation.
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Insulin receptor subfamily.
Widely expressed but mainly in nervous tissue. Isoform 2 is expressed at higher levels in adult brain than in fetal brain.
