GFRA1

SYNONYMS
GDNF receptor alpha-1, GDNFR-alpha-1, GFRalpha-1, RET ligand 1, TGF-beta-related neurotrophic factor receptor 1, GDNFRA1, RET1L2, RETL1, Glial Cell LineDerived Neurotrophic Factor Receptor Alpha, TRNR1, GPILinked Anchor Protein, PI-Linked Cell-Surface.


INTRODUCTION
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.


DESCRIPTION
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).
