## Abstract There is increasing evidence that glial cell line‐derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) plays a role as a limiting, striatal target‐derived neurotrophic factor for dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) by regulating the magnitude of the first phase of postnatal natu
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-
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
