Summary: Enables protein homodimerization activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; and regulation of morphogenesis of an epithelium. Located in extracellular space. Part of receptor complex. Used to study Parkinsonism and middle cerebral artery infarction. Biomarker of Parkinsonism and sciatic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hirschsprung's disease; Parkinsonism; and epilepsy. Orthologous to human GDNF (glial cell derived neurotrophic factor).

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.
