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). . | ||
