Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)

Enables transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including Peyer's patch morphogenesis; neuron cell-cell adhesion; and positive regulation of metanephric glomerulus development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of cell size; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to be located in dendrite; endosome; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be part of plasma membrane protein complex and receptor complex. Predicted to be active in axon and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study Hirschsprung's disease; clubfoot; multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B; and pheochromocytoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Hirschsprung's disease; familial medullary thyroid carcinoma; multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A; multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B; and pheochromocytoma. Orthologous to human RET (ret proto-oncogene).
