Biochem/physiol Actions

GFRA2 are cell surface bound glycoproteins that mediate interactions of the glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) ligand family with the RET receptor that are crucial for the development of kidney and some peripheral nerve lineages. GFRA2 gene is shown to be associated with tardive dyskinesia in a study. The factors GDNF and neurturin, along with their receptors GFRA1 and GFRA2, respectively, are crucial for enteric neuron survival in human colon. The gene is shown to be associated with schizophrenia and clozapine response in a study. It is associated with severe abdominal pain sensation in pancreatic cancer patients.

Two of the glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs), namely GDNF and neurturin (NRTN), are essential neurotropic factors for enteric nerve cells. Signal transduction is mediated by a receptor complex composed of GDNF family receptor alpha 1 (GFRα1) for

GDNF (glial-cell-line derived neurotrophic factor) is a potent neurotrophic factor for dopaminergic neurons. Neuropsychiatric diseases and their treatments are associated with alterations in the levels of both GDNF and its receptor family (GDNF family receptor alpha or GFRA). GFRA1, GFRA2

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) has a pharmacogenetic component in which the interaction of antipsychotic exposure with individual genetic variation mediates risk. The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) signalling pathway has been associated with neuroprotective effects in central dopaminergic neurons and

Neurotrophic factors possess an emerging role in the pathophysiology of several gastrointestinal disorders, regulating innervation, pain sensation and disease-associated neuroplasticity. Here, we aimed at characterizing the role of the neurotrophic factor neurturin (NRTN) and its receptor glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor receptor
