'''High affinity nerve growth factor receptor''' (TrkA) is a tyrosine kinase receptor. | '''High affinity nerve growth factor receptor''' (TrkA) is a tyrosine kinase receptor. Trk stands for Topomyosin-Related Kinase. TrkA ligand - nerve growth factor activates the receptor by stabilizing homodimer formation which initiates transautophosphorylation<ref name="TrkA">PMID:9759973</ref>.
