Purity ≥95% (SDS-PAGE) Endotoxin level <0.1 EU/μg Function GFR alpha -like (GDNF receptor-alpha-like) is a distant member of the GDNFR family of proteins. Mature human GFR alpha-like is a 376 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane protein. It contains a 333 aa extracellular domain, a 20 aa transmembrane domain and a 23 aa cytoplasmic domain. Over the extracellular domain, human GFRAL shares 72% and 71% identity with mouse and rat GFRAL respectively. GFRAL is expressed on both fetal and adult hindbrain neurons of the CNS, and would appear to function as an anti-apoptotic molecule during neuronal stress. GFRAL is a functional receptor for GDF-15, facilitating weight-loss functions of the protein through c-Ret downstream signaling. GFRAL and GDF-15 signaling is implicated in diet-based obesity and insulin resistance.
