The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and its receptors (GFR) play important roles in the promotion of survival and differentiation of central and peripheral neuronal populations. We show that GFRalpha1, a component of GDNF receptor, was expressed in thymocytes at an early stage of

The c-ret protooncogene, RET, encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase. RET is activated by members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family of ligands, which include GDNF, neurturin, artemin, and persephin. The ligands bind RET through GDNF family receptor alpha, termed GFRalpha1-
Human SK-N-AS neuroblastoma and U-87MG glioblastoma cell lines were found to secrete relatively high levels of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). In response to growth factors, cytokines, and pharmacophores, the two cell lines differentially regulated GDNF release. A 24-hr exposure
