Definition: A family of GLYCOSYLPHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOL-anchored cell surface receptors that are specific for GLIAL CELL LINE-DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTORS. They form a multi-component receptor complex with PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEIN C-RET and regulate a variety of intracellular SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION PATHWAYS in conjunction with c-ret protein.
Other names Glial Cell Line Derived Neurotrophic Factor Recept; Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor Receptor 4; Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor Receptor 3; Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor Receptor 2; Glial Derived Neurotrophic Factor Receptor 1; GFRA4 Receptor; GFRA3 Receptor; GFRA2 Receptor; GFRA1 Receptor; GDNF Family Receptor Alpha 4; GDNF Family Receptor Alpha 3; GDNF Family Receptor Alpha 2; GDNF Family Receptor Alpha 1; GDNF Family Receptor 4; GDNF Family Receptor 3; GDNF Family Receptor 2; GDNF Family Receptor 1; GDNF Receptors
