The article states, "TrkA stands for Tropomyosin-Related Kinase A and not Tyrosine Kinase A or Tyrosine Receptor Kinase A."

What evidence in the literature is there that the definition of TrkA is one or the other?

Additionally the beginning of the article states, "Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor, type 1, also known as NTRK1, is a human gene."

So at the start we see Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, where as in the body it says this is wrong. Should it be Neurotrophic Tropomyosin-Related Kinase 1?

A summary of this article appears in Trk receptor.

if any of this is actually true and or important, rewrite it so that it is understandable. Jesterjester 01:59, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
