| Introduction | Glial cell line-derived growth factor (GDNF), neurturin (NTN), persephin (PSP) and artemin, distant members of theTGF-beta superfamily, are neurotrophic factors for a variety of neuronal populations in the central and peripheral nervous systems. The bioactivities of GDNF and NTN are mediated through a receptor complex composed of the non ligand-binding signaling subunit (c-Ret receptor tyrosine kinase) and either of two ligand binding subunits (GDNF receptor alpha -1 [GFR alpha -1], also known as GDNF R alpha -1 or Trn R1, or GFR alpha -2, also known as GDNF R alpha -2 or Trn R2). GFR alpha -1 and -2 are members of a family of at least four cysteine-rich glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked cell surface proteins that share conserved placements of many of their cysteine residues. Binding of GDNF or NTN to membrane-associated GFR alpha -1 or GFR alpha -2 initiates the association with and activation of the Ret tyrosine kinase. |

| Usage | |
|---|---|
| Application | WB, IHC |
| Dilutions | Western Blot (0.1 µg/mL); Immunohistochemistry (5-15 µg/mL) |
| Reactivity | Human |
| Specificity | Detects human GFR alpha ‑2/GDNF R alpha ‑2 in direct ELISAs and Western Blots. In direct ELISAs, approximately 75% cross‑reactivity with recombinant mouse GFR alpha -2 is observed and less than 5% cross-reactivity with recombinant human GFR alpha -1 is observed. |
