Description | Anti-GFR alpha 2 Antibody is Ion exchange chromatography purified. Cross reactivity with GFR alpha 2 from other sources has not been determined. Members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family, including GDNF and neurturin (NTN) play key roles in the control of vertebrate neuron survival and differentiation. Physiological responses to NTN require the presence of a novel glycosylphosphadidylinositol linked protein NTNRalpha, which is a cell surface receptor for NTN. The cDNAs encoding NTNRalpha from human, rat, chicken, and mouse have been cloned recently. NTNRalpha was also termed GDNFRb, Ret ligand 2 (RETL2) or TGFbeta-related neurotrophic factor receptor 2 (TrnR2) and nominated as GFRa-2 recently. GFRa-2 binds NTN and mediates activation of RET receptor tyrosine kinase by both NTN and GDNF. Thus, NTN, GFRa-2, and the Ret PTK form a complex to transduce NTN signal and to mediate NTN function. |
Immunogen | Anti-GFR alpha 2 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a 15 amino acid peptide near the internal region of human GFR alpha 2. |
