    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the survival and differentiation of nervous system and heart
  • mediating neurotrophin-3-stimulated cell proliferation
  • NTRK3-mediated signaling is involved hair follicle biology
  • may be playing a role in the pathophysiology of anxiety disorders
  • influences hippocampal function and may modify the risk for schizophrenia
  • NTRK1 and NTRK3, respectively) instruct developing neurons to die
  • NTRK3 functions potentially as a dependence receptor that is frequently down-regulated in colorectal malignancies
  • is a colorectal cancer tumor suppressor
  • physiological role for NTRK3 in the pathogenesis of leukemia
  • in the absence of NTF3, the proteolytic cleavage of NTRK3 leads to the release of a killer fragment that triggers mitochondria-dependent apoptosis via the recruitment of COBRA1
  • neurotrophin signaling via NTRK2 and NTRK3 promotes the growth of brain tumor-initiating cells
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding neurotrophins (NTF3, NTF4), receptor of NTF3, NTF4
  • novel regulatory relationship between the NTRK3 gene and the transcription factor SOX2
  • LRP1-dependent cell signaling that includes NTRK3 activation promotes axonal growth in the CNS
  • is a dependence receptor, and, as such, it triggers apoptosis in the absence of its ligand, NTF3
  • COBRA1 is required for NTRK3-induced apoptosis
  • RUNX3 may play a crucial role in the development of Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) by regulating the expression of NTRK3 variants
  • LINGO1 functions as a negative feedback regulator of signaling by cognate receptor tyrosine kinases including NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3
