NCIt definition : Human NTRK3 wild-type allele is located within 15q25 and is approximately 380 kb in
length. This allele, which encodes NT-3 growth factor receptor protein, is involved
in MAPK signal transduction and cellular differentiation. The allele may also play
a role in the development of proprioceptive neurons. Mutations in the gene have been
associated with medulloblastomas, secretory breast carcinomas and other cancers.;
