GDF-9 Recombinant Protein Antigen

GDF9, also known as Growth/differentiation factor 9, is a 454 amino acid that is 51 kDa, is a multifunctional protein required for ovarian folliculogenesis; directly affects oocyte growth and function; stimulates granulosa cell proliferation; promotes primordial follicle development and cell transition from G0/G1 to S; regulates STAR expression and cAMP-dependent progesterone release in granulosa and thecal cells; increases the expression of inhibin B and suppresses FST and FSTL3 production in granulosa-lutein cells. Disease research is currently being studied with relation to GDF9 and polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, blepharophimosis, galactosemia, infertility, gonadal dysgenesis, twinning, prostate cancer, Huntington's disease, endometriosis, prostatitis, breast cancer, and hepatitis B. Interactions with GDF9 protein have been shown to involve SMN1, SMN2, APLP1, GADD45G, TK1, PRKRA and around 50 other interacting proteins in nuclear receptor activation by vitamin-A, paxillin interactions, telomerase components in cell signaling, mitochondrial apoptosis, molecular mechanisms of cancer, antioxidant action of vitamin-C, eIF2 pathway, intracellular calcium signaling, JNK pathway, apoptotic pathways in synovial fibroblasts plus 44 more other pathways.
