[The GDNF family: from neurotrophic factors to oncogenesis].

The structure and in vivo functions of the glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family ligands (GFLs) and their high-affinity receptors are considered. These proteins play an important role in the development of the nervous system, morphogenesis of the kidneys, and in regulation of spermatogenesis. Tyrosine kinase Ret is a receptor component common for all GFLs. Its role in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is discussed.
