摘要:
Nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) are members of a family of structurally related proteins termed neurotrophins that promote the growth and survival of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Each of these proteins bind to at least two membrane receptors. One is the low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75), which binds each member of the neurotrophin family. The other is one of a family of tyrosine kinase receptors-trkA binds only NGF, the related trkB receptor binds BDNF and NT-3, and trkC binds NT-3 alone. This article reviews kinetic and biochemical information on p75 and its relationship to the trk gene products.
