    摘要: The invention provides methods and compositions for identifying agents which modulate cell death, indicated e.g. by the expression of caspase-2 and/or caspase-7, in GDNF family growth factor deprived neuronal or nonneuronal cells. The methods for identifying such agents find particular application in drug development.

    摘要: The invention provides methods for identifying modulators of RETindependent, GDNF effected intracellular signaling. The invention further provides methods of identifying useful modulators of RET-independent GDNF receptoreffected MET activation, as well as modulators of morphological responses which are effected by nonRET GDNF receptor-effected intracellular signaling. Methods of distinguishing RET-independent GDNF ligand-mediated intracellular signaling by different cellular GDNF receptors from RET-dependent intracellular signaling are provided. The methods of the invention also provide an understanding of the complex interrelationships between RET, MET, GFRa in response to GDNF ligands.

    摘要: The present invention discloses purified and isolated nucleic acid sequences encoding polypeptides having a structure substantially similar to that of splicing forms of mammalian GFRα4 comprising the amino acid sequence (SEQ ID NO:1:)-(SEQ ID NO:6:). The preferred sequences comprise cDNAs having the sequence (SEQ ID NO:7:)-(SEQ ID NO:13:). The present invention is also related to purified and isolated polypeptides comprising the amino acid sequence and or substantially similar splicing forms of mammalian GFRà4. Furthermore, the invention is related to substances capable of specifically recognizing said polypeptides and including both antibodies and receptors. The active compounds of the present invention including cDNAS, polypeptides, binding substances, and antibodies. The invention is useful not only for producing cell-lines and/or transgenic non-human animal but also for diagnosing and treating neuronal disorders or endocrine tumors as well as other related diseases by enabling measurements of GFRα4-mediated signalling in endocrine cells and neurons.
