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 GDNFRa, which is a cell surface receptor for GDNF. The cDNAs encoding GDNFa from human, rat, chicken and mouse have been cloned recently. GDNFRa was also termed Ret ligand 1 (RETL1) or TGF-a-related neurotrophic factor receptor 1 (TrnR1) and nominated as GFR-a-1 recently. GFR-a-1 binds GDNF specifically and mediates activation of the Ret protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). Thus, GDNF, GFR-a and the Ret PTK form a complex to transduce GDNF signal and to mediate GDNF function. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1ug/ml Immunohistochemistry: 1ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
