| Other Names | GDNF family receptor alpha-1, GDNF receptor alpha-1, GDNFR-alpha-1, GFR-alpha-1, RET ligand 1, TGF-beta-related neurotrophic factor receptor 1, GFRA1, GDNFRA, RETL1, TRNR1 |
| Target/Specificity | This GFRA1 antibody is generated from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 381-415 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human GFRA1. |
| Dilution | WB~~1:1000 E~~Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
| Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | GFRA1 Antibody (C-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | GFRA1 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | GDNFRA, RETL1, TRNR1 |
| Function | Coreceptor for GDNF, a neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake (PubMed:10829012, PubMed:31535977). GDNF-binding leads to autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor (PubMed:31535977). |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62997}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62997}. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62997}. Endosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62997}. Endosome, multivesicular body {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62997}. Note=Localizes mainly to the plasma membrane. In the presence of SORL1, shifts to vesicular structures, including trans-Golgi network, endosomes and multivesicular bodies {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q62997} |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
