Description
N-terminal GST-tagged and C-terminal His6-tagged recombinant, human TrkC amino acids 510-end. TrkC is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family. This kinase membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. Signalling through this kinase leads to cell differentiation and may play a role in the development of proprioceptive neurons that sense body position. Mutations in this gene have been associated with medulloblastomas, secretory breast carcinomas and other cancers. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene
