Recombinant Human GDF15 Protein (Sumo Tag)
Product Specifications
Background
Growth/differentiation factors (GDF-1 to GDF-15) are members of the BMP family of TGF-beta superfamily proteins. They are produced as inactive preproproteins which are then cleaved and assembled into active secreted homodimers. GDF dimers are disulfide-linked with the exception of GDF-3 and-9. GDF proteins are important during embryonic development, particularly in the skeletal, nervous, and muscular systems.
