  • Additional notes

    Members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family including GDNF and neurturin (NTN) play essential roles in the control of vertebrate neuron survival and differentiation. A new member of the GDNF family was recently identified and designated persephin. Physiological responses to these neurotrophic factors require two receptor subunits, the novelglycosylphosphadidylinositol linked protein GFRa and Ret receptor tyrosine kinase GFRb. Following the discovery of GFRa-1 and -2, a novel receptor in GFRa family was identified recently in human and mouse and designated GFRa-3. GFRa-3 binds persephin, thus, persephin, GFRa-3, and Ret PTK form a complex to transduce persephin signal and to mediate persephin function.

     This product was previously labelled as GFR alpha 3

  • Function

    Receptor for the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, ARTN (artemin). Mediates the artemin-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor tyrosine kinase.

  • Tissue specificity

    Widely expressed in adult and fetus which exhibit a similar pattern. Essentially not expressed in the central nervous system, but highly expressed in several sensory and sympathetic ganglia of the peripheral nervous system. Moderate expression in many non-neuronal tissues, particularly those of the digestive and urogenital systems, but high expression in stomach and appendix. Several types of glandular tissues show low expression. Very low or no expression detected in the hematopoietic system.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the GDNFR family.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    N-glycosylated.

  • Cellular localization

    Cell membrane.
