Description
Rabbit IgG polyclonal Picoband? antibody for GDNF family receptor alpha-1(GFRA1) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human. No cross reactivity with other proteins. GDNF family receptor alpha-1 (GFRα1), also known as the GDNF receptor or GFRA1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GFRA1 gene. It is mapped to chromosome 10q25.3. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the GDNF receptor family. GFRA1 is released by neuronal cells, Schwann cells, and injured sciatic nerve. It is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI)-linked cell surface receptor for both GDNF and NTN, and mediates activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. This gene is also a candidate gene for Hirschsprung disease. Soluble GFRA1 mediates robust recruitment of RET to lipid rafts via a mechanism requiring the RET tyrosine kinase.
Immunogen
E.coli-derived human GFRA1 recombinant protein (Position: D25-Q227). Human GFRA1 shares 97% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat GFRA1.
