概要
Growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5) is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) subclass of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily. It binds a receptor complex comprising BMPR1B and BMPR2, which then activates the SMAD signaling pathway (Carreira et al.; Nishitoh et al.; Osório et al.). GDF-5 enhances chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, skeletogenesis, and dendrite growth during development (Coleman et al.; Francis-West et al.). Studies in rat demonstrated that GDF-5 regulates patterning, neurogenesis, astrogliogenesis, and neuronal specification (Gajavelli et al.; Krieglstein et al.; O’Keeffe et al.).

Data
(A) The biological activity of Human Recombinant GDF-5 was tested by its ability to induce alkaline phosphatase production in ATDC-5 cells. Alkaline phosphatase production was measured after 63 hours using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50 is defined as the effective concentration of the growth factor at which alkaline phosphatase activity is at 50% of maximum. The EC50 in the above example is 0.017 μg/mL. (B) 1 μg of Human Recombinant GDF-5 was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (+) and non-reducing (-) conditions and visualized by Coomassie Blue staining.
