DOCK3-mediated activation of RAC1 downstream of BDNF-induced signaling by NTRK2 (TRKB) plays a role in axonal growth and regeneration. DOCK3 can be recruited to the plasma membrane to activate RAC1 by binding to NTRK-associated FYN (Namekata et al. 2010). Alternatively, DOCK3 can, upon poorly elucidated RHOG activation by the BDNF:NTRK2 complex, bind to the RHOG:GTP complex and activate RAC1 in an ELMO1-dependent manner (Namekata et al. 2012).
