Gene Information

human ... GDF15(9518)

General description

GDF15 (growth and differentiation factor 15), a bona fide heart‐derived hormone, is also referred as macrophage inhibitory cytokine 1 (Mic-1). It belongs to the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) superfamily of cytokines. MIC-1, an extracellularly localized secretory protein, is highly expressed in placenta, adult prostate and skin. It is expressed at a relatively less level in other tissues like colon, kidney and fetal brain. GDF15 is located on human chromosome 19p13.11.

Immunogen

Recombinant protein corresponding to Growth differentiation factor 15.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

GDF15 (growth and differentiation factor 15) may be involved in macrophage activation. It stimulates the progression of tumors in vivo. GDF15 controls body growth and plays a local cardioprotective role because of its autocrine/paracrine function. It modulates liver growth hormone (GH) signalling.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
