Biological function summary
Neurturin supports the maintenance and function of many neuronal populations. It partners with the RET receptor tyrosine kinase and the GFRα2 co-receptor to form a receptor complex that mediates its signaling. This interaction is important for neuronal differentiation and survival especially in dopamine-producing neurons and parasympathetic neurons. Neurturin's activity ensures proper nerve development and the maintenance of effective neuronal networks.
Pathways
Several important elements are involved with neurturin function. It plays a role in the MAPK/ERK and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathways both of which are essential for cell survival and growth. In these pathways neurturin acts alongside proteins like GDNF and RET helping to transmit cellular signals that either promote cell survival or modulate neuronal function depending upon the cellular context.

General info
Function
Growth factor that supports the survival of sympathetic neurons in culture (PubMed : 8945474). May regulate the development and maintenance of the CNS (PubMed : 8945474). Involved in the development of the neural crest (PubMed : 15242795). Might control the size of non-neuronal cell population such as haemopoietic cells (PubMed : 8945474). Acts by binding to its coreceptor, GFRA2, leading to autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor (PubMed : 10829012, PubMed : 29414779, PubMed : 31535977). Heparan sulfate-binding is required for signaling (PubMed : 29414779).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDNF subfamily.
