Summary: Predicted to enable axon guidance receptor activity and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor receptor signaling pathway and nervous system development. Predicted to act upstream of or within axon guidance; neuron migration; and sympathetic nervous system development. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Biomarker of sciatic neuropathy. Orthologous to human GFRA3 (GDNF family receptor alpha 3).

What's a GeneRIF?

These data suggest that ARTN-GFRalpha3 interactions partially mediate early stage nociceptive signalling following an inflammatory insult.
Title: Artemin-GFRα3 interactions partially contribute to acute inflammatory hypersensitivity.
In the rat, GFRalpha3- and RET-like staining were found in the same non-neural cell type only in kidney.
Title: Distribution of GDNF family receptor alpha3 and RET in rat and human non-neural tissues.
GFRalpha3-labeled fibers were in lamina I, the lateral-collateral pathway, and areas surrounding dorsal groups of preganglionic neurons and associated interneurons.

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.
