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.

    Cover You

    by: Bee Gees

    You could read her lips well as I was able
    She was into taking you where you ain't been
    I was looking in at the stroke of twelve
    She came in the back door
    You could see her climb the stairs
    And the two of us , we wait , we wait
    I'll cover you, girl I cover you
    Cover you with...
    Cover you with kisses
    Shower you with love
    Twist you up and turn you 'round
    All night , all night
    Cover you with kisses
    Taste you with my tongue
    Live on itchy fingers
    All night long , all night
    You could see her legs underneath the table
    You could see the burn was on when she moved on you
    I think I went insane
    When the flesh is weak
    The more that we discover
    If we only trust just the two of us
    You play me , you play me
    I'll cover you , girl I cover you
    Cover you with ....
    Cover you with kisses
    Taste you with my tongue
    Live on itchy fingers
    All night long, all night
    Born to make love she was
    To get up you go down
    It's easy
    Cover you with kisses
    Shower you with love
    Twist you up and turn you 'round
    All night, all night
    Cover you with kisses
    Taste you with my tongue
    Live on itchy fingers
