    Summary
    Enables glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor receptor signaling pathway and nervous system development. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of ossification. Located in extracellular space. Orthologous to human GFRA4 (GDNF family receptor alpha 4).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
