Description

Exhibits MAP kinase kinase kinase activity. Involved in enteric nervous system development and protein-containing complex assembly. Predicted to localize to extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; digestive system; eye; intermediate mesoderm; and lateral line system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hirschsprung's disease; congenital central hypoventilation syndrome; epilepsy; and pheochromocytoma. Orthologous to human GDNF (glial cell derived neurotrophic factor).
