GDF-15 Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-GDF-15 Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Growth/differentiation factor 15 encoded by GDF15 belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family. The protein is expressed in a broad range of cell types, acts as a pleiotropic cytokine and is involved in the stress reponse program of cells after cellular injury. Increased protein levels are associated with disease states such as tissue hypoxia, inflammation, acute injury and oxidative stress.
