1 We have found evidence that part of the survival-promoting activity of GM1 is dependent on the presence, dimerization, and activation of the Trk NGF receptor tyrosine kinase and that GM1 causes a detectable increase in Trk receptor autophosphorylation. G(M1) Ganglioside neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 We have found evidence that part of the survival-promoting activity of GM1 is dependent on the presence, dimerization, and activation of the Trk NGF receptor tyrosine kinase and that GM1 causes a detectable increase in Trk receptor autophosphorylation. G(M1) Ganglioside neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 We postulate that exogenously supplied GM1 causes increased ligand-independent dimerization of Trk molecules within membranes, thereby leading to its activation and promotion of survival. G(M1) Ganglioside neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1 Rattus norvegicus
