Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Endosome. Endosome, multivesicular body. Localizes mainly to the plasma membrane. In the presence of SORL1, shifts to vesicular structures, including trans-Golgi network, endosomes and multivesicular bodies.




PMID: 8674117 by Jing S., et al. GDNF-induced activation of the ret protein tyrosine kinase is mediated by GDNFR-alpha, a novel receptor for GDNF.
PMID: 9177201 by Sanicola M., et al. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor-dependent RET activation can be mediated by two different cell-surface accessory proteins.
