Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake (PubMed:8493557). Acts by binding to its coreceptor, GFRA1, leading to autophosphorylation and activation of the RET receptor (PubMed:10829012, PubMed:25242331, PubMed:31535977). Involved in the development of the neural crest (PubMed:15242795)
