Summary: Enables protein homodimerization activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of morphogenesis of an epithelium. Located in extracellular space. Part of receptor complex. Used to study alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; brain disease (multiple); and hyperprolactinemia. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcohol use disorder; irritable bowel syndrome; middle cerebral artery infarction; neuropathy (multiple); and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Hirschsprung's disease; Parkinsonism; anxiety disorder; depressive disorder; and heroin dependence. Orthologous to human GDNF (glial cell derived neurotrophic factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
