Active Recombinant Human GDF11 Protein

• Cat.No.: GDF11-046H
• Product Overview: The mature recombinant human GDF-11 protein (299-407aa) without tag was expressed in E. coli.

Specification

• Description: This gene 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. This protein plays a role in the development of the nervous and other organ systems, and may regulate aging.
