Facts about Proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret.
Regulates both cell death/survival balance and positional information. Required for the molecular mechanics orchestration during intestine organogenesis; involved in the growth of enteric nervous system and renal organogenesis during embryonic life, and promotes the formation of Peyer's patch-like structures, a major part of the gut- associated lymphoid tissue.
