tropomyosin receptor kinase (trk) proto-oncogene protein (NTRK)

Pharmacology: - larotrectinib is a trk inhibitor with activity in trk fusion-positive cancers [1] - repotrectinib (Augtyro) is FDA-aproved for all locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic solid tumors with an NTRK gene fusion* that have progressed after initial treatment or have no alternative treatment * NTRK gene-fusions are rare, but found in many tumor types [2]

Specific

BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor; EC=2.7.10.1; neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2; TrkB tyrosine kinase; GP145-TrkB; Trk-B (NTRK2 TRKB) trk A protein; high affinity nerve growth factor receptor; neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1; TRK1-transforming tyrosine kinase protein; p140-TrkA; Trk-A (NTRK1, TRK) trk C protein; NT-3 growth factor receptor; neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 3; TrkC tyrosine kinase; GP145-TrkC; Trk-C (NTRK3, TRKC) trk E proto-oncogene protein or neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor-4
