Neurotrophin signaling through the p75 neurotrophin receptor

Progress in Neurobiology, 2002
The neurotrophins are growth factors that play critical roles in the development, maintenance, survival, and death of the nervous system. The signal transducing systems that mediate the diverse biological functions of the neurotrophins are initiated by their interactions with two categories of cell surface receptors, the Trk family of tyrosine kinases ...

Neurotrophins

2003
Nerve growth factor was the first identified protein with anti-apoptotic activity on neurons. This prototypic neurotrophic factor, together with the three structurally and functionally related growth factors brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT3) and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT4/5), forms the neurotrophin protein family.

Neurotrophins and Neurotrophin Receptors in Human Pulmonary Arteries

Journal of Vascular Research, 2000
The localization of neurotrophins (NTs) and NT receptors was analyzed in sections of human extra- and intrapulmonary arteries by Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. In extrapulmonary branches of human pulmonary artery, NT and NT receptor immunoreactivity was located in the tunica intima, within endothelium, in the tunica media, within ...

Neurotrophins and asthma

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2001
The neurotrophins are a family of peptides that promote survival, growth, and differentiation of neurons. Neurotrophins may also influence the function of nonneuronal cell types, including immune cells. The development and maintenance of asthma is thought to involve the nervous system and the immune system, but the role that neurotrophins play in ...

Neurotrophin receptors

Progress in Neurobiology, 1994
The neurotrophins are members of a family of four related proteins that allow the survival and differentiation of specific sub-sets of embryonic vertebrate neurons. On neurons, two types of neurotrophin receptors can be distinguished on the basis of their dissociation constants: low affinity receptors (Kd 10(-9) M) and high affinity receptors (Kd 10 ...

Neurotrophins and schizophrenia

Schizophrenia Research, 2007
Neurotrophins have established roles in neuronal development, synaptogenesis, and response to stress/anxious stimuli. Moreover, these agents are neuromodulators of monoaminergic, GABAergic, and cholinergic systems. Amidst a growing appreciation of the developmental neurobiology of schizophrenia--as well as the propensity for progressive brain changes ...

Neurotrophins and Neurotrophin Receptors in Human Lung Cancer

American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 2001
The expression of neurotrophins (NTs) and related high- and low-affinity receptors was studied in surgical samples of histologically diagnosed human tumors of the lower respiratory tract. The experiment was conducted with 30 non-small cell lung cancer specimens and in eight small cell lung cancer specimens by Western blot analysis and ...

The neurotrophins and their receptors

Trends in Cell Biology, 1993
The neurotrophins, which include nerve growth factor (NGF) and its relatives, were discovered and characterized for their distinctive ability to promote survival and differentiation of postmitotic neurons. Perhaps surprisingly, the neurotrophins have recently been found to utilize a family of receptor tyrosine kinases (the Trks) similar to those used ...

Neurotrophins and neurotrophin receptors in allergic asthma

2004
The neurotrophins nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and NT-4 play a pivotal role in the development of the nervous system. Despite their well-known effects on neurons, elevated neurotrophin concentrations have been observed under pathological conditions in sera of patients with inflammatory disorders ...
