Active Recombinant Human GDF5 Protein

• Cat.No.: GDF5-107H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human GDF5 Protein without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: E.coli
• Description: Growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5) is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) families and functions to regulate cell proliferation and differentiation in embryonic and adult tissues. GDF-5 is expressed in the central nervous system and promotes the survival of dopaminergic neurons in animal models of Parkinson’s disease. GDF-5 is also important during chondrogenesis and chondrocyte differentiation.
