What Does TRK Stand For?
TRK stands for Tyrosine Kinase
TRK, short for Tyrosine Kinase, refers to a family of enzymes that transfer phosphate groups from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to tyrosine residues on specific proteins. This phosphorylation process plays a crucial role in cellular signal transduction, regulating various functions such as cell growth, differentiation, and metabolism. Dysregulation of tyrosine kinases is often implicated in various cancers and other diseases, making them important targets for therapeutic interventions.
