Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables brain-derived neurotrophic factor binding activity and brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor signaling pathway; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including neurogenesis; neuronal action potential propagation; and positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including early endosome; postsynaptic density; and terminal bouton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; future brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; autistic disorder; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 58; major depressive disorder; and morbid obesity. Orthologous to human NTRK2 (neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 2).
