UniProtKB description:  Receptor tyrosine kinase involved in nervous system and probably heart development. Upon binding of its ligand NTF3/neurotrophin-3, NTRK3 autophosphorylates and activates different signaling pathways, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT and the MAPK pathways, that control cell survival and differentiation (By similarity). The KT and KD isoforms fail to stimulate transformation, process outgrowth or survival. Isoform KI25 exhibits tyrosine phosphorylation in the absence of ligand and is unable to mediate survival of neuronal cells (PubMed:8060621).
