Abstract

TrkA is an essential component of the high affinity NGF receptor necessary to the mediate biological effects of the neurotrophins NGF. Here we report on the expression of TrkA in the olfactory bulb and basal nucleus of Mongolian gerbil brain during the postnatal development. The expressions of TrkA were identified in a immunohistochemical method. Higher levels of TrkA immunoreactivity were detected in septum than that in olfactory bulb and caudate putamen (CPu). But TrkA was not observed before postnatal days (PND6) in olfactory bulb and PND9 in CPu. No TrkA-positive cell was detectable in the olfactory fiber layer. Several regions, such as olfactory bulb and CPu, showed weak labeling. These data show that expression of TrkA is developmentally regulated during postnatal Mongolian gerbil brain development and suggest that high affinity neurotrophinreceptors mediate a transient response to neurotrophins in many regions during the brain ontogeny.
