NTRK2

NTRK2 is a gene that produces a protein called TrkB, which plays a key role in the nervous system. TrkB helps nerve cells communicate, grow, and survive, especially in the brain and nerves. It responds to a molecule called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), supporting brain function, learning, and memory. In some cases, changes or mutations in the NTRK2 gene can lead to health issues, including certain cancers, by causing abnormal cell growth. Overall, NTRK2 is vital for normal nerve cell function and development.
