Other Information

**Key characteristics**: - It is a type I transmembrane receptor that is expressed on neurons and glial cells. - It is a single-pass transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 170 kDa. - It is a ligand for GDNF. **Pathways and functions**: - It is a key regulator of axon guidance by binding to GDNF and facilitating its interaction with its cytoplasmic signaling partner, GDNF receptor alpha 2 (GDNFRA2). - It is involved in the regulation of neuronal migration by binding to GDNF and promoting its interaction with GDNFRA2. - It is also involved in the regulation of synapse formation by binding to GDNF and facilitating its interaction with its cytoplasmic signaling partner, GDNFRA2. - It is involved in the development and maintenance of the peripheral nervous system by regulating the migration and survival of motor neurons. - It is also involved in the development of the cerebral cortex by regulating the migration and survival of neurons in the cerebral cortex. **Clinical significance**: - Mutations in GFRA3 have been linked to a number of neurological disorders, including autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. - In one study, mutations in GFRA3 were found to be associated with a rare brain disorder called lissencephaly, which is characterized by severe intellectual disability and seizures. - In another study, mutations in GFRA3 were found to be associated with a syndrome of seizures, intellectual disability, and behavioral problems.
