NT-3 growth factor receptor also known as neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 3 or TrkC tyrosine kinase or Trk-C receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NTRK3 gene.TrkC is the high affinity catalytic receptor for the neurotrophin NT-3 (neurotrophin-3). As such TrkC mediates the multiple effects of this neurotrophic factor which includes neuronal differentiation and survival. The TrkC receptor is part of the large family of receptor tyrosine kinases.
