Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor-dependent RET activation can be mediated by two different cell-surface accessory proteins
10 Jun 1997
Abstract excerpt
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)-dependent activation of the tyrosine kinase receptor RET is necessary for kidney and enteric neuron development, and mutations in RET are associated with human diseases. Activation of RET by GDNF has been shown to require an accessory component, GDNFR-alpha (RETL1). We report the isolation and characterization of rat and human cDNAs for a novel cell-surface...
