Term Information

Accession
GO:0038179
Name
neurotrophin signaling pathway
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
neurotrophin receptor signaling pathway
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The series of molecular signals initiated by neurotrophin binding to its receptor on the surface of a target cell, and ending with the regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. Neurotrophins are a family of secreted growth factors that induce the survival, development, and function of neurons. Source: GOC:signaling, GOC:bf, Wikipedia:Neurotrophin, GOC:jc, PMID:17466268
Comment
There are two classes of receptors for neurotrophins: p75 and the Trk family of tyrosine kinase receptors.
