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 |
