| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) 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 several cellular components, including dendrite; endosome; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be part of plasma membrane protein complex and receptor complex. Predicted to be active in axon. 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for some point mutations or knock-out alleles exhibit premature lethality, defects in neurogenesis, and abnormal kidney, ureter, ovary, muscle, and intestine morphology.
