Description
Background
Growth and Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15) is a TGFβ family member, made by the placenta and heart tissues, that has a role in regulating inflammatory and apoptotic pathways. GDF-15 has become an immerging marker of early heart disease and has the potential as being used as a molecule for screening patients for early heart failure. Recombinant human GDF-15 is a non-glycosylated, disulfide linked homodimer, containing two identical 113 amino acid chains, with a total molecular weight of 24.5 kDa.
Application Note
Growth and Differentiation Factor-15 Recombinant Protein has been tested by SDS-PAGE and biological activity and is suitable as a control for polyclonal or monoclonal anti-Growth and Differentiation Factor-15 in immunological assays.
Purity/Specificity
Growth and Differentiation Factor-15 purity was determined to be greater than 95% as determined by analysis by HpLC, UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
