Title:
INTRACELLULAR SIGNALING-INDUCED RET-INDEPENDENT GDNF RECEPTOR-EFFECTED MORPHOLOGICAL CHANGES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004078775
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention provides methods for identifying modulators of RET­independent, GDNF effected intracellular signaling. The invention further provides methods of identifying useful modulators of RET-independent GDNF receptor­effected MET activation, as well as modulators of morphological responses which are effected by nonRET GDNF receptor-effected intracellular signaling. Methods of distinguishing RET-independent GDNF ligand-mediated intracellular signaling by different cellular GDNF receptors from RET-dependent intracellular signaling are provided. The methods of the invention also provide an understanding of the complex interrelationships between RET, MET, GFRa in response to GDNF ligands.
