GDNF Receptor a-2/GFRA2 Protein(C-Fc-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Glial Cell line-derived Neurotrophic Factor Receptor alpha 2 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ser22-Ser441 is expressed with a Fc, 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Ser22-Ser441. Fusion tag: C-Fc-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 120 kDa. Protein function: GDNF family receptor alpha-2 is a glycosylphosphatidylinosito l (GPI)-linked cell surface receptor. It is part of the GDNF receptor family. 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. GFRA2 mediates the NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor. It also able to mediate GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. It acts preferentially as a receptor for NTN compared to its other family member, GDNF family receptor alpha 1. Protein function: Receptor for neurturin. Mediates the NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor. Also able to mediate GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. [The UniProt Consortium]
