Product Features
| Species Reactivity | Human |

| Assay Time | 1.5 h |
Target Information
| Target Symbol | GDF9 |
|---|---|
| UniProt ID | O60383 |
| Function | Required for ovarian folliculogenesis. Promotes primordial follicle development. Stimulates granulosa cell proliferation. Promotes cell transition from G0/G1 to S and G2/M phases, through an increase of CCND1 and CCNE1 expression, and RB1 phosphorylation. It regulates STAR expression and cAMP-dependent progesterone release in granulosa and thecal cells. Attenuates the suppressive effects of activin A on STAR expression and progesterone production by increasing the expression of inhibin B. It suppresses FST and FSTL3 production in granulosa-lutein cells. |
| Cellular Localization | Secreted. |
| Post-transcriptional Modifications | Phosphorylated; phosphorylation is critical for GDF9 function. In vitro, can be phosphorylated by CK at Ser-325. |
| Involvement in Disease | Altered GDF9 function may be involved in ovarian disorders and contribute to the likelihood of dizygotic twinning. Premature ovarian failure 14 (POF14): An ovarian disorder defined as the cessation of ovarian function under the age of 40 years. It is characterized by oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, in the presence of elevated levels of serum gonadotropins and low estradiol. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
