Trk receptor signaling pathways. Upon neurotrophin binding, the activated Trk receptors engage various intracellular signaling pathways such as those mediated by extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and phospholipase Cγ (PLC-γ) to promote cellular differentiation, growth, survival, synaptic plasticity and changes to cell motility (adapted from Huang and Reichardt, 2003). Critical tyrosine (Y) residues of the human TrkA intracellular domain are shown. Direct, indirect and inhibitory pathways are denoted by solid arrows, dashed arrows and blunt arrows respectively.
