Gdf5 - growth differentiation factor 5 Gene
Also Known as bp; brp; BMP-14; Cdmp-1
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of Smad Family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein regulates the development of numerous tissue and cell types, including cartilage, joints, brown fat, teeth, and the growth of neuronal axons and dendrites. Mice with a mutation in this gene exhibit enhanced tooth enamel formation. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
