GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	GDF15 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms	MIC-1, MIC1, NAG-1, PDF, PLAB, PTGFB
Description	Growth differentiation factor 15 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family. The protein is expressed in a broad range of cell types, acts as a pleiotropic cytokine and is involved in the stress reponse program of cells after cellular injury. Increased protein levels are associated with disease states such as tissue hypoxia, inflammation, acute injury and oxidative stress. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
