GFRA1 - GDNF family receptor alpha 1 Gene
Also Known as GDNFR; RET1L; RETL1; RHDA4; TRNR1; GDNFRA; GFRalpha-1; GFR-ALPHA-1; GDNFR-alpha-1
Species: Homo sapiens
About GFRA1
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 273 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in fat (RPKM 5.5), brain (RPKM 4.5) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
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.
