Gene information for NTRK2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4915
Official gene symbolNTRK2
Full nameneurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 2
Aliases,GP145-TrkB,TRKB,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family. This kinase is a membrane-bound receptor that, upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. Signalling through this kinase leads to cell differentiation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with obesity and mood disorders. Alternate transcriptional splice variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
