Shipping conditions update: ambient shipping
This product will be delivered at ambient temperature instead of chilled – this is by design. Extensive stability testing confirmed that our products are suitable for shipment under ambient conditions and maintain expected quality.
Why the change?
It’s part of our commitment to more sustainable packaging solutions, with ambient deliveries using eco-friendly materials such as recyclable cardboard instead of polystyrene.
What you need to know
Ambient shipments come clearly marked on the delivery note.
No ice will be included in ambient shipments, but mixed orders (ambient and cold-chain items) will still arrive with ice packs to protect temperature-sensitive products.
Warranty coverage remains fully valid, aligned with our validated shipping method.
Please store the product as per the datasheet instructions upon receipt.

Ret also known as "rearranged during transfection" is a receptor tyrosine kinase with a mass of approximately 170-175 kDa. Scientists often study Ret because of its key role in cellular signaling pathways. It is primarily expressed in neural crest-derived cells and tissues including the kidneys and the enteric nervous system. Ret is also found in various other cell types throughout the body such as endocrine and hematopoietic tissues.
Biological function summary
The Ret protein facilitates several critical processes within the body. It functions as part of a complex with co-receptors called GFRα (GDNF family receptor alpha) which are required for binding ligands such as GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor). This binding activates downstream signaling pathways that influence cell growth differentiation and survival particularly within the nervous system. The proper functioning of Ret is essential for the development and maintenance of these cellular environments.
Pathways
Ret is an important component of the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. These pathways mediate various cellular responses including cell proliferation survival and apoptosis. The interactions of Ret with other proteins like SHC and GRB2 within these pathways create ripple effects that impact larger cellular networks. Through these pathways Ret connects with multiple proteins to modulate essential biological processes.
Ret's dysregulation is closely associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) and Hirschsprung's disease. These conditions arise due to mutations affecting Ret's signaling capabilities. In MEN2 Ret mutations lead to uncontrolled cell growth often resulting in medullary thyroid carcinoma. Hirschsprung's disease on the other hand involves a failure in neural crest cell migration leading to congenital gut motility issues. Researchers explore Ret's interactions with other proteins such as endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) to further understand these diseases.
