Rabbit Anti-GDF15/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. It has been implicated in a variety of functions directly related to tumorigenicity including antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects.
BMP proteins are secreted growth factors that are characterized by seven conserved cysteine residues. In general, they are regulators of cell growth and differentiation in both embryonic and adult tissues.
GDF15 is an important downstream mediator of DNA damage signaling and a transcriptional target of p53.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Highly expressed in placenta, with lower levels in prostate and colon and some expression in kidney.
Similarity:
Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

生长分化因子15(GDF15)是骨形态发生蛋白(BMP)和转化生长因子-β超家族成员。GDF-15又叫巨噬细胞抑制因子(macrophage inhibiting cytokine,MIC)-1、胎盘转化生长因子 (placental transformation growth factor,PTGF)-β、前列腺衍生因子(prostate derived factor,PDF)和胎盘骨形态发生蛋白(placental bone morphogeneticprotein,PLAB)。
有学者认为:GDF-15在肿瘤发展的不同阶段发挥着不同的生物学作用;随着肿瘤的发生发展,GDF-15可能表达不同形式的蛋白,在肿瘤发生的早期阶段可能发挥抑瘤作用,而在肿瘤发展的后期阶段发挥促瘤作用。
