Abstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, trkB, activate cAMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB) and the transcription of genes that is crucial for long-term potentiation (LTP). Any of several signaling pathways activated by trkB could be required for LTP. A recent study using mice carrying a mutation in a specific tyrosine residue of trkB pinpoints a necessary role for the phospholipase-Cgamma (PLCgamma) pathway in CREB activation and LTP maintenance.Entities:
