General description
The Trk (tropomyosin-receptor-kinase) proto-oncogene family of receptor tyrosine kinases contains four members, TrkA, TrkB, TrkC, and TrkE, which are variably expressed throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems. TrkB is the high-affinity to the binding brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) receptor and neurotrophin-4/5 NT-4/5). TrkB is autophosphorylated on five cytoplasmic tyrosines. The binding of BDNF to TrkB receptor causes many intercellular cascades to be activated such as promoting survival of sensory neurons mainly through Shc site-independent pathways.The signaling activity of these receptors includes the Ras – MAP kinase pathway, and the PI3 Kinase pathway. These receptors are responsible for resistance to apoptosis, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, and mood disorders.
Specificity
Recognizes TrkB, Mr 145 kDa, as well as an additional protein, Mr 90 kDa, which is likely a TrkB degradation product.
Immunogen
The entire extracellular domain (corresponding to residues 1–429) of the rat TrkB receptor, expressed in COS cells. The immunizing sequence has 97% identity with mouse TrkB and 88% identity with human TrkB.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been characterized as a potent modulator of neural plasticity in both the brain and spinal cord. The present experiments use an in vivo model system to demonstrate that training with controllable stimulation increases spinal BDNF

The role of synaptic activity during early formation of neural circuits is a topic of some debate; genetic ablation of neurotransmitter release by deletion of the Munc18-1 gene provides an excellent model to answer the question of whether such activity

Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by intraneuronal inclusions of hyperphosphorylated tau protein and abnormal expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key modulator of neuronal survival and function. The severity of both these pathological hallmarks correlate with the degree of
