Artemin

Function

Artemin is a neurotrophic factor in the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family of ligands which are a group of ligands within the TGF-beta superfamily of signaling molecules. GDNFs are unique in having neurotrophic properties and have potential use for gene therapy in neurodegenerative disease. Artemin has been shown in culture to support the survival of a number of peripheral neuron populations and at least one population of dopaminergic CNS neurons. Its role in the PNS and CNS is further substantiated by its expression pattern in the proximity of these neurons. This protein is a ligand for the RET receptor and uses GFR-alpha 3 as a coreceptor.[5]

gollark: While it *did* leave the Buisness space station due to conflicts with management, it did not go out of *business* ever.
gollark: Due to the ongoing Lambda Incident their results were not independently reproduced for several [REDACTED], see.
gollark: Actually, Dwight-Helventica were paid by GTech™ to report inaccurate observations to retroactively influence Tux1 counter-optical-phased-array system designs.
gollark: This was disproven by the Lopez-Monroe experiment of 2███3 actually.
gollark: #9 seems to be forking a bunch of "apiary" servers for sorting somehow.
