GDF3
Growth differentiation factor-3 (GDF3), also known as Vg-related gene 2 (Vgr-2) is protein that in humans is encoded by the GDF3 gene.[5] GDF3 belongs to the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-
Tissue distribution
[edit]Expression of GDF3 occurs in ossifying bone during embryonic development and in the brain, thymus, spleen, bone marrow and adipose tissue of adults.[6][7]
Function
[edit]GDF3 is a bi-functional protein that has some intrinsic activity and also modulate other TGF-
