    Summary
    This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that functions as the receptor for persephin, a member of the glial cell line derived neurotrophic factors. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface coreceptor that forms a complex with the receptor tyrosine kinase Ret. A complete lack of the encoded protein impairs production of thyroid calcitonin and increases the rate of bone formation in young mice. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
