    basic FUNCTION
  • neutrophic factor involved in stimulation of neurite outgrowth, exerting selective effects on pain sensation
  • ligand for the RET receptor and using GFR-alpha 3 as coreceptor
  • activating the GFR alpha 1 RET receptor complex
  • acting as a guidance factor that encourages sympathetic fibers to follow blood vessels as they project toward their final target tissues
  • promoting the survival of ventral midbrain dopaminergic neurons in culture and prevents their degeneration after treatment by 6 hydroxydopamine in vivo
  • exhibiting neurotrophic activity on mesencephalic dopaminergic and motor neurons
  • involved in processes subserving both the organization of the cortical region during development and the functional activity and maintenance of the mature hippocampal neurons
