WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.

Hintergrund
Members of the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family, including GDNF and neurturin (NTN) play essential roles in the control of vertebrate neuron survival and differentiation.A new member of the GDNF family was recently identified and designated persephin.Physiological responses to these neurotrophic factors require two receptor subunits, the novel glycosylphosphadidylinositol linked protein GFRalpha and Ret receptor tyrosine kinase GFRbeta.Following the findings of GFRalpha-1 and -2, a novel receptor in GFRalpha family was identified very recently from human and mouse and designated GFRalpha-3.GFRalpha-3 binds persephin, thus, persephin, GFRalpha-3, and Ret PTK form a complex to transduce persephin signal and to mediate persephin function. Synonyms: GFRa-3, GDNFRg, GDNFRgamma
