GDNF Family Receptor alpha-like, Gral, Glial Cellline-derived Neurotrophic Factor Receptor alpha-like, GFR alpha-like, C6orf144
GFRAL (GDNF receptor alpha-like) is a distant member of the GDNFR family of proteins. Human GFR alpha-like contains a 333aa extracellular domain, a 20aa transmembrane domain and a 23aa cytoplasmic domain. Over the extracellular domain, human GFRAL shares 72 % and 71 % identity with mouse and rat GFRAL, respectively. It is expressed on both fetal and adult hindbrain neurons of the CNS and functions as an anti-apoptotic molecule during neuronal stress. GFRAL is a functional receptor for GDF15, facilitating weight-loss functions of the protein through c-Ret downstream signaling. GFRAL and GDF15 signaling is implicated in diet-based obesity and insulin resistance.
