Kek-6: A truncated-Trk-like receptor for Drosophila neurotrophin 2 regulates structural synaptic plasticity.
Neurotrophism, structural plasticity, learning and long-term memory in mammals critically depend on neurotrophins binding Trk receptors to activate tyrosine kinase plastic molcajete bowls (TyrK) signaling, but Drosophila lacks full-length Trks, raising the question of how these processes occur in the fly.Paradoxically, truncated Trk isoforms lackin
