GDF9 encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. Growth/differentiation factor 9 regulates ovarian function. Reduced expression of GDF9 may be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome and mutations in this gene may be more common in mothers of dizygotic twins.蛋白别名为：GDF9; Growth/differentiation factor 9; GDF-9;基因ID为：2661；蛋白质ID:O60383
应用类型
WB，IHC-p，ELISA补充：最优的抗体稀释比例需要基于客户实验进行优化.建议的起始稀释比例如下: WB: 1:500-1:2000, IHC-p: 1:100-1:300, ELISA: 1:10000. Not yet tested in other applications.
