Product Specific Information

In direct ELISAs and Western blots, approximately 25% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse (rm) GDF-6 is observed, and less than 5% cross-reactivity with rmGDF-1, rmGDF-3, rmGDF-8, rmGDF-9, recombinant human GDF-11, and rhGDF-15 is observed.

Reconstitute at 0.2 mg/mL in sterile PBS.

Target Information

GDF-5 is expressed in long bones during embryonic development and postnatally in articular cartilage. Mutations in the GDF-5 gene have been implicated in Hunter-Thompson type dwarfism and in Grebe Syndrome, which is characterized by short stature, extra digits, and short and deformed extremities. The mature and functional form of GDF-5 is a homodimer of two 120 amino-acid polypeptide chain (monomers) linked by a single disulfide bond. Each GDF-5 monomer is expressed as the C-terminal part of a precursor polypeptide, which also contains a 27 amino acid signal peptide and a 354 amino acid propeptide. This precursor undergoes intracellular dimerization, and upon secretion it is processed by a furin-type protease.
