Function
Receptor for neurturin. Mediates the NRTN-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor. Also able to mediate GDNF signaling through the RET tyrosine kinase receptor.; [Isoform 2]: Participates in NRTN-induced 'Ser-727' phosphorylation of STAT3.
Tissue Specificity Isoform 1 is found in both brain and placenta.
Reactome Pathway
RAF/MAP kinase cascade (R-HSA-5673001 )
RET signaling (R-HSA-8853659 )
NCAM1 interactions (R-HSA-419037 )
