Recombinant mouse BMP-14 (black circles, Cat. No. 760604) induces the differentiation of ATDC5 mouse chrondrogenic cells. Ultra-LEAF™ Purified anti-mouse BMP-14 antibody (clone A16107C, purple squares) inhibits the differentiation of ATDC5 mouse chrondrogenic cells induced by recombinant mouse BPM-14 at 2 µg/mL in a dose-dependent manner. The ND50 = 4 – 16 μg/mL.

Growth and differentiation factor-5 (GDF-5) was initially identified in partially purified extracts from newborn calf articular cartilage. Together, GDF-5, GDF-6, and GDF-7, belong to a subfamily of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family of proteins, which are members of the TGF-β superfamily. This family plays a key role in skeletal development, bone formation, and stem cell differentiation. Human GDF-5 is highly homologous to its murine equivalent and the mature proteins differ only by one amino acid. BMPs signal through heterotetrameric complex receptors, which include four type I receptors (ALK1, ALK2, ALK3, and ALK6) and three type II receptors (BMPRII, ActRIIA, and ActRIIB). GDF-5 binds specifically to BMPR1b, BMPRII, and ACTRIIA receptors forming a heterodimeric complex, thus inducing the phosphorylation of SMAD 1, 5, 8 and the translocation to the nucleus. GDF-5 enhances endochondral bone growth, development of limb skeletons and joints, and odontogenesis. GDF-5 stimulates osteogenic differentiation and increases VEGF levels in fat-derived stromal cells in vitro. Also, GDF-5 stimulates the proteoglycans and type II collagen production in intervertebral disc cells, and enhances cell proliferation and matrix synthesis in annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus cells, which inhibits degenerative disc disease. GDF-5 could be suitable for gene therapy for lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration. Mutations in the human GDF-5 gene result in a broad spectrum skeletal disorders. GDF-5 is a potent neurotrophic factor in vitro and in vivo for rat dopaminergic midbrain neurons, more specifically in the ones that degenerate in Parkinson's disease. Exogenous GDF-5 is neuroprotective in animal models of Parkinson’s disease. Moreover, it is a key regulator of the growth and elaboration of pyramidal cell dendrites in the developing hippocampus.

Antigen Details
- Structure
- Disulfide-linked homodimer.
- Distribution
-
Predominantly expressed in cartilaginous tissues, precartilaginous mesenchymal condensation, and throughout the cartilaginous cores of the developing long bones.
- Function
- Skeletal development during embryogenesis, joint formation, tendon repair, and odontogenesis. MicroRNA-21 suppresses the expression of GDF-5 by inducing GDF-5 mRNA decay in chondrocytes. Noggin inhibits GDF-5.
- Interaction
- Chondrocytes, osteoblasts, periosteum cells, fibroblasts, hippocampal pyramidal cells, and dopaminergic midbrain neurons.
- Ligand/Receptor
- BMPR1b, BMPRII, and ACTRIIA.

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
