Background | GDF15 is part of the TGF-Beta superfamily that is involved in regulating inflammatory and apoptotic pathways in injured tissues and throughout disease processes. GDF15 is most abundant in the liver. Its expression in liver can be considerably up-regulated in during injury of organs such as liver, kidney, heart and lung. GDF-15 promotes proliferation or growth arrest and differentiation due to differences in cellular differentiation. GDF15 prevents apoptosis in cerebellar granule neurons by activating Akt and inhibiting endogenously active ERK. GDF15 is a novel autocrine/endocrine factor that antagonizes the hypertrophic response and loss of ventricular performance. |
Description | GDF15 Human Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a homodimeric, non-glycosylated, Polypeptide chain containing 2x113a.a. and having a molecular weight of 24.8 kDa. The GDF15 is purified by unique purification methods. |

Purity | >95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | The activity can be determined by the inhibition of DU-145 cells and is typically 1-2μg/ml. |
Formulation | GDF15 is lyophilized from a sterile filtered solution containing 0.1% Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA). |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized GDF15 although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GDF15 should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
