what does ret mean
RET is an abbreviation for rearranged during transfection, as the DNA sequence of this gene was originally found to be rearranged within a 3T3 fibroblast cell line following its transfection with DNA taken from human lymphoma cells.The human gene RET is localized to chromosome 10 (10q11.2) and contains 21 exons.n order to activate RET, GFLs first need to form a complex with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored co-receptor. The co-receptors themselves are classified as members of the GDNF receptor-Î± (GFRÎ±) protein family.
