Summary
GFRA3 (GDNF family receptor alpha 3, HGNC:4245) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q31.2, encoding GDNF family receptor alpha-3 (O60609). Receptor for artemin (ARTN), a growth factor that supports the survival of sensory and sympathetic peripheral neurons.
The protein encoded by this gene is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI)-linked cell surface receptor and a member of the GDNF receptor family. It forms a signaling receptor complex with RET tyrosine kinase receptor and binds the ligand, artemin.

All UniProt accessions (4): A0AAQ5BI91, A0AAQ5BI95, O60609, K9J968
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Receptor for artemin (ARTN), a growth factor that supports the survival of sensory and sympathetic peripheral neurons. ARTN-binding leads to autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ARTN ligand and RET: forms a 2:2:2 ternary complex composed of ARTN ligand, GFRA3 and RET receptor. Interacts with SORL1.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed in adult and fetus which exhibit a similar pattern. Essentially not expressed in the central nervous system, but highly expressed in several sensory and sympathetic ganglia of the peripheral nervous system. Moderate expression in many non-neuronal tissues, particularly those of the digestive and urogenital systems, but high expression in stomach and appendix. Several types of glandular tissues show low expression. Very low or no expression detected in the hematopoietic system.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.
Similarity. Belongs to the GDNFR family.
