background | GFR alpha -like (GDNF receptor-alpha-like) is a distant member of the GDNFR family of proteins. Mature human GFR alpha-like is a 376 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane protein. It contains a 333 aa extracellular domain, a 20 aa transmembrane domain and a 23 aa cytoplasmic domain.GFRAL is a brainstem-restricted receptor for GDF15 which regulates food intake, energy expenditure and body weight in response to metabolic and toxin-induced stresses. |
molecular weight | The protein has a predicted MW of 40.1 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 48-60 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. |
available size | 100 µg, 500 µg |
endotoxin | Less than 1 EU per μg by the LAL method. |

Function Brainstem-restricted receptor for GDF15 hormone, which triggers an aversive response, characterized by nausea, vomitting, and/or loss of appetite in response to various stresses (PubMed:28846097, PubMed:28846098, PubMed:28846099, PubMed:28953886, PubMed:31152154, PubMed:31928886, PubMed:32723474, PubMed:33593916, PubMed:35202387, PubMed:36630958, PubMed:37380764). The aversive response is both required to reduce continuing exposure to those stresses at the time of exposure and to promote avoidance behavior in the future (PubMed:28846097, PubMed:28846098, PubMed:28846099, PubMed:28953886, PubMed:31928886, PubMed:32723474, PubMed:33593916, PubMed:35202387, PubMed:36630958). The GDF15-GFRAL aversive response is triggered by stresses, such as anticancer drugs (camptothecin or cisplatin), cancers or drugs such as metformin (PubMed:31875646, PubMed:31928886, PubMed:32661391, PubMed:32723474). Upon interaction with its ligand, GDF15, mediates the GDF15-induced autophosphorylation and activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor, leading to activation of MAPK- and AKT- signaling pathways (PubMed:28846098, PubMed:28846099, PubMed:32723474, PubMed:33593916). Ligand-binding activates GFRAL-expressing neurons localized in the area postrema and nucleus tractus solitarius of the brainstem (PubMed:28846098, PubMed:28846099, PubMed:31152154, PubMed:32723474). The GDF15-GFRAL signal induces expression of genes involved in metabolism, such as lipid metabolism in adipose tissues (PubMed:32661391). |
Subellular location Cell membrane ; Single-pass membrane protein ; Extracellular side . |
Tissues Expressed in the brainstem, restricted to cells in the area postrema and the immediately adjacent region of the nucleus tractus solitarius. |
Structure Interacts (via the extracellular domain) with GDF15 and RET; receptor of GDF15, mediates cellular signaling through interaction with RET after GDF15-binding (PubMed:28846098, PubMed:28846099). Interaction with RET requires previous GDF15-binding (PubMed:28846099). |
Post-translational modification Cleaved and inactivated by MMP14, inhibiting the GDF15-GFRAL aversive response. |
