"Specifically, the binding of NGF to its receptors promotes the formation of trkA homodimers and trkA-p75 NTR heterodimers and the autophosphorylation of the receptors, which then activate downstream signalling cascades such as mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK), also known as extracellular signal regulated kinases (ERKs), and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (PKB, also known as AKT), resulting in enhanced neuronal survival and growth."
