GDNF family receptor alpha-1 (GFRA1) belongs to the GDNF receptor family. GFRA1 is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol(GPI)-linked cell surface receptor for both Glial cell line-derived growth factor (GDNF), neurturin (NTN), and mediates activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. The GFRA1 protein is a potent survival factor for central and peripheral neurons, and is vital for the development of kidneys and the enteric nervous system.
GFRA1 Human Recombinant produced in HEK293 cells is a single,�glycosylated polypeptide chain (a.a 25-423) containing 409 amino acids including a 10 a.a C-terminal His tag. The total molecular mass is 46.0kDa (calculated).�
| UniProt Protein Function: | GFRA1: Receptor for GDNF. Mediates the GDNF-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor. Belongs to the GDNFR family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |

| NCBI Summary: | Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and neurturin (NTN) are two structurally related, potent neurotrophic factors that play key roles in the control of neuron survival and differentiation. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the GDNF receptor family. It is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI)-linked cell surface receptor for both GDNF and NTN, and mediates activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. This gene is a candidate gene for Hirschsprung disease. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009] |
