Biological context of Nrtn

 

Anatomical context of Nrtn

 

Associations of Nrtn with chemical compounds

  • Our findings indicate that GDNF and neurturin promote neuronal survival by signalling through similar multicomponent receptors that consist of a common receptor tyrosine kinase and a member of a GPI-linked family of receptors that determines ligand specificity [3].
  • Loss of nitrergic neurotransmission to mouse corpus cavernosum in the absence of neurturin is accompanied by increased response to acetylcholine [17].
  • However, we report here that GDNF and neurturin blocked the growth inhibitory and neuritogenic effects of all-trans-retinoic acid in neuroblastoma cells in vitro [18].
 

Physical interactions of Nrtn

 

Regulatory relationships of Nrtn

  • We conclude that GDNF and neurturin potently upregulate functional B1 receptor expression in small non-peptidergic nociceptive neurones [20].
