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. |
