Growth differentiation factor 9:bone morphogenetic protein 15 heterodimers are potent regulators of ovarian functions
4 Feb 2013
Abstract excerpt
The TGF-β superfamily is the largest family of secreted proteins in mammals, and members of the TGF-β family are involved in most developmental and physiological processes. Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15), oocyte-secreted paralogs of the TGF-β superfamily, have been shown genetically to control ovarian physiology. Although previous studies found that GDF9 and BMP15...
