    Background
    RET (Ret proto-oncogene) is a receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to the cadherin superfamily that transduces extracellular signals into intracellular responses critical for development and tissue homeostasis. Its extracellular domain contains four cadherin-like repeats and a cysteine-rich region, both of which are involved in calcium binding and essential for receptor activation. RET spans the membrane via a single transmembrane helix and has an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain with multiple conserved phosphorylation sites. Activation of RET occurs upon binding of GDNF family ligands (e.g., GDNF, neurturin) in complex with GFRα co-receptors, triggering receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation at specific tyrosines such as Tyr1062 and Tyr1015. These phosphorylated tyrosines serve as docking sites for adaptor proteins and initiate downstream signaling through the RAS/MAPK, PI3K/AKT, PLCγ/PKC, JAK/STAT, and Src kinase pathways. These cascades control key cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, migration, and morphogenesis. RET signaling plays an essential role in the development of neural crest-derived tissues, including the enteric nervous system, peripheral neurons, adrenal medulla, and kidneys. Alternative splicing of the RET gene generates isoforms with different C-terminal tails that modulate the specificity and strength of downstream signaling. In adult tissues, RET maintains neurotrophic signaling and contributes to renal function and metabolic regulation, including body weight control via the GDF15-GFRAL-RET axis. Mutations or dysregulation of RET signaling are implicated in developmental disorders such as Hirschsprung disease and medullary thyroid carcinoma.
