Peptide sequence around aa.789~793 (P-V-Y-L-D) derived from Human TrkA.
Alternative Synonym:
High affinity nerve growth factor receptor precursor|| NTRK1|| Slow nerve growth factor receptor|| TRK|| TRK1 transforming tyrosine kinase protein
Required for high-affinity binding to nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Known substrates for the Trk receptors are SHC1, PI 3-kinase, and PLC-gamma-1. Has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. Activates ERK1 by either SHC1- or PLC-gamma-1-dependent signaling pathway.
