Abstract excerpt
The GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor)-binding receptor GFRalpha1 (GDNF family receptor alpha1) is attached to the membrane by a GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol) anchor and consists of three cysteine-rich domains. The region corresponding to the second and third domains has been shown previously to participate in ligand binding, and to interact with the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor...
