TrkC Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody [PSH05-40]

Function :
Tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TrkC), also known as NT-3 growth factor receptor, neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 3, or TrkC tyrosine kinase is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NTRK3 gene. TrkC is the high affinity catalytic receptor for the neurotrophin NT-3 (neurotrophin-3).2-Bromo-5,8-dioxaspiro[3.4]octane Price As such, TrkC mediates the multiple effects of this neurotrophic factor, which includes neuronal differentiation and survival. The TrkC receptor is part of the large family of receptor tyrosine kinases. A “tyrosine kinase” is an enzyme which is capable of adding a phosphate group to the certain tyrosines on target proteins, or “substrates”. A receptor tyrosine kinase is a “tyrosine kinase” which is located at the cellular membrane, and is activated by binding of a ligand via its extracellular domain. Other example of tyrosine kinase receptors include the insulin receptor, the IGF-1 receptor, the MuSK protein receptor, the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, etc. The “substrate” proteins which are phosphorylated by TrkC include PI3 kinase.
