"To exert its effects, NGF selectively binds to its high affinity TrkA receptors, located at the plasma membrane of responsive cells, which causes TrkA receptors to form homodimers and activates the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of the receptor resulting in autophosphorylation of receptor subunits."

"As we demonstrated that hfNBMs express the TrkA receptor, we next questioned whether the formation of a NGF and TrkA complex activated a functional TrkA signaling pathway and assessed the phosphorylation of TrkA (pTrkA) and the activation of TrkA down-stream effectors (p-ERK1/2, p-CREB or c-fos)."
