NTRK Cell Panel Screening Service
Introduction to NTRK and Its Therapeutic Importance
Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase (NTRK) genes, including NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3, are integral components in the etiology of various cancers due to their role in encoding tropomyosin receptor kinase proteins (TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC). These proteins are pivotal in neural development, cellular proliferation, and survival, making their dysregulation significant in oncogenesis. The presence of NTRK gene fusions has been identified across a range of malignancies, contributing to the continuous activation of oncogenic pathways. Recognizing these fusions in tumors can guide targeted therapy, offering potential relief through the implementation of Trk inhibitors. These therapies leverage the unique vulnerabilities of tumors harboring NTRK fusions, underscoring the necessity for precise detection and therapeutic intervention strategies.
