Growth/differentiation factor 11 (Q9Z1W4)

Uniprot ID Q9Z1W4
Protein Name Growth/differentiation factor 11
Gene Name Gdf11
Species Mus musculus (Mouse)
Signal peptide(a) Y Secretome P(b) 0.911
Function Secreted signal that acts globally to specify positional identity along the anterior/posterior axis during development (PubMed:10391213). May play critical roles in patterning both mesodermal and neural tissues and in establishing the skeletal pattern. Signals through activin receptors type-2, ACVR2A and ACVR2B, and activin receptors type-1, ACVR1B, ACVR1C and TGFBR1 leading to the phosphorylation of SMAD2 and SMAD3 (PubMed:16845371, PubMed:12414726). .

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
