All are true about neurotrophins except ?
Help integrity of postsynaptic neurons
TrK B is associated with brain derived neurotrophic factor
Helps in growth of cholinergic neurons in basal forebrain
Always transpoed antegrade along the axon
Ans. is 'd' i.e., Always transpoed antegrade along the axon NeurotrophinsThis name is given to a group of proteins necessary for the survival and growth of neurons.Some of them are synthesized by extraneuronal structures innervated by the neurons, e.g. skeletal muscle innervated by alpha-motor neurons and tissue innervated by autonomic neurons.Many are produced by astrocytes.From the non-neural tissues, neurotrophins are taken up by endocytosis at the nerve terminal and transpoed to the soma by axonal retrograde transpo mechanism.
