GFRA2 Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-GFRA2 Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

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. The protein encoded by GFRA2 is a member of the GDNF receptor family. It is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) -linked cell surface receptor for both GDNF and NTN, and mediates activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. This encoded protein acts preferentially as a receptor for NTN compared to its other family member, GDNF family receptor alpha 1. GFRA2 is a candidate gene for RET-associated diseases. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for GFRA2.
