Mouse TRKC ELISA Kit PicoKine®

NTRK3 (Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase Receptor Type 3), also known as TRKC, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NTRK3 gene. By PCR analysis of a somatic cell hybrid panel and by fluorescence in situ hybridization with the cDNA clone, it mapped the NTRK3 gene to 15q24-q25. TRKC, a member of the TRK family of tyrosine protein kinase genes. They found that TRKC is preferentially expressed in the brain; in situ hybridization studies showed transcripts in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and the granular cell layer of the cerebellum. By functional studies in HeLa cells, 5 miRNAs regulate the truncated form of NTRK3.

Isoform 2 expression is restricted to specific areas in adult brain. Isoform 3 transcripts are readily detected early during embryogenesis and are expressed predominantly in adult brain and gonads.

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.
