Background: GFR alpha-1/GDNF R alpha-1

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a potent survival factor for central and peripheral neurons and is essential for the development of kidneys and the enteric nerves system. Physiological responses to GDNF require the presence of a novel glycosylphosphadidylinositol linked protein GDNFRalpha, which is a cell surface receptor for GDNF (1,2). The cDNAs encoding GDNFRalpha from human, rat, chicken and mouse have been cloned recently (1-5). GDNFRalpha was also termed Ret ligand 1 (RETL1) or TGF-beta-related neurotrophic factor receptor 1 (TrnR1) and nominated as GFRalpha-1 recently (5-7). GFRalpha-1 binds GDNF specifically and mediates activation of the Ret protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). Thus, GDNF, GFRalpha and the Ret PTK form a complex to transduce GDNF signal and to mediate GDNF function.
