BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor (NTRK2)
Links to databases
BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor, NTRK2 (also known as tropomyosin-related kinase B), a membrane-bound receptor and member of the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) family. Upon neurotrophin binding, the receptor phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway,leading to cell differentiation. NTRK2 is centrally invloved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems through regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity.Mutations in the NTRK2 gene have been associated with obesity and mood disorders.
Sample type
Recommended sample types are EDTA plasma and serum. A range of additional sample types are compatible with the technology (PEA), including citrate plasma, heparin plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue and cell lysates, fine needle biopsis, microdialysis fluid, cell culture media, dried blood spots, synovial fluid, saliva, plaque extract and microvesicles. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary in different sample types. Certain assays are differentially affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate.

Analytical Measuring Range
Please note: the technical data reported below refers to the measured value in the in vitro validation assays. The calibrator curve below shows the performance of the assay with the estimated sensitivity and dynamic range parameters indicated. These curves are generated during the assay validation process using recombinant antigens. Please note that when analyzing biological samples the data generated will be given in the form of relative quantification (NPX values) and cannot be converted to absolute protein concentrations. For more info about NPX measurements, please visit our FAQ page (https://www.olink.com/question/what-is-npx).
