Abstract excerpt
The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family coreceptor alpha1 (GFRalpha1) is a critical component of the RET receptor kinase signal-transducing complex. The activity of this multicomponent receptor is stimulated by the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and is involved in neuronal cells survival and kidney development. GFRalpha1 pre-mRNA is alternatively spliced and produces two...
