NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
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. 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. Upon ligand-binding, undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. 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.

Catalytic activity: ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate.
Enzyme regulation: The neuronal activity and the influx of calcium positively regulate the kinase activity and the internalization of the receptor which are both important for active signaling. Regulated by NGFR that may control the internalization of the receptor. NGFR may also stimulate the activation by BDNF compared to NTF3 and NTF4. SH2D1A inhibits the autophosphorylation of the receptor, and alters the recruitment and activation of downstream effectors and signaling cascades. The formation of active receptors dimers able to fully transduce the ligand-mediated signal, may be negatively regulated by the formation of inactive heterodimers with the non-catalytic isoforms. Ref.13
Subunit structure: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. Interacts (phosphorylated upon activation by BDNF) with SHC1; mediates SHC1 phosphorylation and activation. Interacts (phosphorylated upon activation by BDNF) with PLCG1 and/or PLCG2; mediates PLCG1 phosphorylation and activation. Interacts with SH2B1 and SH2B2. Interacts with NGFR; may regulate the ligand specificity of the receptor. Interacts (phosphorylated upon ligand-binding) with SH2D1A; regulates NTRK2. Interacts with SQSTM1 and KIDINS220. Interacts (phosphorylated upon ligand-binding) with FRS2; activates the MAPK signaling pathway. Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein
By similarity. Note: Internalized to endosomes upon ligand-binding
By similarity. Ref.2
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system. The different forms are differentially expressed in various cell types. Isoform T2 is primarily expressed in neurons.
Post-translational modification: Phosphorylated. Undergoes ligand-mediated autophosphorylation that is required for interaction with SHC1 and PLCG1 and other downstream effectors. Some isoforms are not phosphorylated. Ref.2 Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.6Ubiquitinated. Undergoes polyubiquitination upon activation; regulated by NGFR. Ubiquitination regulates the internalization of the receptor
By similarity.

Product Notes
The TrkB ntrk2 (Catalog #AAA6503669) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The TrkB (Tyrosine Kinase Receptor B) (MaxLight 405) reacts with Mouse, Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's TrkB can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TrkB ntrk2 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "TrkB, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
