Related Product Information for GFRA1 active protein
Relevance: Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Family Receptor alpha-1 (GDNFRalpha1) is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linked cell surface protein belonging to GDNF-family receptor alpha subtype which consists of at least four members. GFRalpha1and GFRalpha2 are the cognate co-receptor for the neurotrophic factor neurturin mediating the NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. Soluble GFRalphas released enzymatically from the cell surface by phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C, as well as recombinantly produced soluble GFRalpha1, can also bind with high affinity to GDNF and trigger the activation of Ret tyrosine kinase. Human GFRalpha1 shares 93% amino acid identity with mouse GFRalpha1. The expression of the various GFRalphas are differentially regulated in the central and peripheral nervous system, suggesting complementary roles for the GFRalphas in mediating the activities of the GDNF family of neurotrophic factors.

Function: Receptor for GDNF. Mediates the GDNF-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor (By similarity).

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a member of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor receptor (GDNFR) family of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature receptor. 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. This receptor 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed.

It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "GDNF Family Receptor alpha-1 (GFRA1), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
