Brief Description   (IN) Persephin receptor a new member of the GDNF family was recently identified and designated persephin.
Specific Description   Members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family including GDNF and neurturin (NTN) play essential roles in the control of vertebrate neuron survival and differentiation. A new member of the GDNF family was recently identified and designated persephin. Physiological responses to these neurotrophic factors require two receptor subunits, the novel glycosylphosphadidylinositol linked protein GFRalpha and Ret receptor tyrosine kinase GFRbeta (2). Following the findings of GFRΑ-1 and -2, a novel receptor in GFRalpha family was identified very recently from human and mouse and designated GFRalpha-3. GFRalpha-3 binds persephin, thus, persephin, GFRalpha-3, and Ret PTK form a complex to transduce persephin signal and to mediate persephin function.
Storage   GFR alpha 3 antibody can be stored at 4°C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
