General annotation (Comments)

Function

Receptor for brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not nerve growth factor (NGF). Involved in the development and/or maintenance of the nervous system. This is a tyrosine-protein kinase receptor. Known substrates for the TRK receptors are SHC1, PI-3 kinase, and PLC-gamma-1.

Catalytic activity

ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate.

Subunit structure

Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. Binds SH2B2. Interacts with SQSTM1 and KIDINS220 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Tissue specificity

Isoform TrkB is widely expressed, mainly in the nervous tissue. In the CNS, expression is observed in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, choroid plexus, granular layer of the cerebellum, brain stem, and spinal cord. In the peripheral nervous system, it is expressed in many cranial ganglia, the ophtalmic nerve, the vestibular system, multiple facial structures, the submaxillary glands, and dorsal root ganglia. Isoform TrkB-T1 is expressed in multiple tissues, mainly in brain, pancreas, kidney and heart. Isoform TrkB-T-Shc is predominantly expressed in brain.

Post-translational modification

Ligand-mediated auto-phosphorylation.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Insulin receptor subfamily.

Contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.

Contains 2 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]

Note: Additional isoforms seem to exist.
Isoform TrkB (identifier: Q16620-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform TrkB-T1 (identifier: Q16620-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     467-477: PASVISNDDDS → FVLFHKIPLDG
     478-822: Missing.
Isoform TrkB-T-Shc (identifier: Q16620-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     529-537: FVQHIKRHN → WPRGSPKTA
     538-822: Missing.
