Background

GDF-3 is a member of the TGF-Beta superfamily of growth and differentiation factors, and is highly homologous to GDF-9. Unlike most TGF-Beta family members, GDF-3 and GDF-9 are not disulfide-linked dimers. GDF-3 is expressed in adult bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and adipose tissue. The expression of GDF-3 is upregulated in high-fat-fed wild-type FABP4/aP2 null mice and was associated with obesity, but not with the related hyperglycemia/hyperinsulinemia which characterizes Type-2 diabetes. Recombinant human GDF-3 contains 114 amino acids polypeptide chains
