About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for GFRA2:
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 encoded protein acts
preferentially as a receptor for NTN compared to its other family member, GDNF family receptor alpha 1. This gene is a
candidate gene for RET-associated diseases. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found
for this gene. (provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GFRA2_HUMAN, O00451
Function: Receptor for neurturin. Mediates the NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor.
Also able to mediate GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase receptor
