GDNF family receptor alpha-2 (GFRa-2)

Target (abbrv.) GFRa-2
Target (full name) GDNF family receptor alpha-2
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL004143 (2515-14_3)
Entrez Gene Symbol GFRA2
UniProt ID O00451
UniProt Comment
  • 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.
Reactome
  • NCAM1 interactions

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs10503709) and 93 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
