Summary: Enables integrin binding activity and kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including dendrite development; positive regulation of cell-matrix adhesion; and regulation of dendrite development. Located in cell surface and dendrite. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early extended germ band embryo; embryonic/larval head sense organ; gut section; presumptive embryonic/larval system; and stomatogastric nervous system. Used to study Hirschsprung's disease; cancer; familial medullary thyroid carcinoma; multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A; and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hirschsprung's disease; familial medullary thyroid carcinoma; multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A; multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B; and pheochromocytoma. Orthologous to human RET (ret proto-oncogene). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

Gfrl shares the same enteric nervous system (ENS) and feeding defects with Ret, suggesting that Ret and Gfrl might function together via a common ligand. We identified the TGFbeta family member Maverick (Mav) as a ligand for Gfrl and a Mav chromosomal deficiency displayed similar embryonic ENS defects. Results suggest that the Ret and Gfrl families co-evolved before the separation of invertebrate and vertebrate lineages.
Title: The Drosophila Ret gene functions in the stomatogastric nervous system with the Maverick TGFβ ligand and the Gfrl co-receptor.
We demonstrate that this phospho-S909 arises from an intrinsic RET dual-specificity kinase activity and show that an equivalent serine is required for RET signaling in Drosophila. Our findings reveal dual-specificity and allosteric components for the mechanism of RET activation and signaling with direct implications for drug discovery
Title: RET Functions as a Dual-Specificity Kinase that Requires Allosteric Inputs from Juxtamembrane Elements.
Mechanistically, Ret is engaged in a positive feedback loop with Wnt/Wingless signalling, modulated by Src and Fak kinases.
Title: Ret receptor tyrosine kinase sustains proliferation and tissue maturation in intestinal epithelia.
Ret as a regulator in dendrite patterning and adhesion distinct from its role in axon guidance, is proposed.
Title: The Ret receptor regulates sensory neuron dendrite growth and integrin mediated adhesion.
A signaling active version of Ret (Ret(MENB) rescues muscle degeneration, disintegration of mitochondria and ATP content of Pink1 mutants.
Title: Ret rescues mitochondrial morphology and muscle degeneration of Drosophila Pink1 mutants.
Significant conservation between the biological effects elicited by the human and Drosophila RET kinases was shown which suggests functions for dRET in neuronal differentiation in the fly.
Title: Drosophila RET contains an active tyrosine kinase and elicits neurotrophic activities in mammalian cells.
strong propensity to self-association in the RET-transmembrane underlies - and may be required for - dimer formation and oncogenic activation of juxtamembrane cysteine mutants of RET
Title: Self-association of the transmembrane domain of RET underlies oncogenic activation by MEN2A mutations.
