GFRα

The GDNF family receptor-α (GFRα) proteins are a group of co-receptors which form complexes with GDNF-family ligands (GFLs) to activate RET, the receptor of the GFLs. The GFRα co-receptors include the following:

  • GFRα1 – preference for GDNF
  • GFRα2 – preference for neurturin
  • GFRα3 – preference for artemin
  • GFRα4 – preference for persephin

    GFRA3

    GDNF family receptor alpha-3 (GFRα3), also known as the artemin receptor, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GFRA3 gene.

    Function

    The protein encoded by this gene is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI)-linked cell surface receptor and a member of the GDNF receptor family. It forms a signaling receptor complex with RET tyrosine kinase receptor and binds the ligand, artemin.

    Girl

    by: Giuffria

    Be my, be my baby
    Yesterday, I was watching the turning tide, of a memories of a changing shore line
    Otherwise, was nevermore. Life was different, you closed the door
    Still in all my heart is true, there's no forgetting you, what can I do?
    Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
    Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
    Memories, change with every passing day, change with every word you stay
    Lost in love without a trace, find myself, in a different place
    Listen girl, I still believe, you'll find a way, come back to me
    Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
    Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
    Now the flame is burning, but the fire is gone
    This love that's haunting me, but I still push on
    You touched controls, and they're moving me
    And I can't break away, no.
    Solo
    Today, I sat and watched the setting sun, sit and think of only love,
    A distance shore, a far away, restless heart so hard to tame
    Listen girl, I still believe, you'll find you're way, come back to me
    Girl, don't you feel the things you've done to me
    Took my broken heart and set it free, oh, girl.
    Girl, don't you close your eyes and walk away
    Let me down and just fade away, oh, girl.
    Don't you feel those things you do, don't you feel those things you do to me,
    Oh, yeah, I said girl, girl, yeah
    What you've done, don't you feel those feelings there
