|
| 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.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Isoform 1 is found in both brain and placenta.
