Regulates food intake, energy expenditure and body weight in response to metabolic and toxin-induced stresses (PubMed: 28953886, PubMed: 28846097, PubMed: 28846098, PubMed: 28846099, PubMed: 23468844, PubMed: 29046435). Binds to its receptor, GFRAL, and activates GFRAL-expressing neurons localized in the area postrema and nucleus tractus solitarius of the brainstem (PubMed: 28953886, PubMed: 28846097, PubMed: 28846098, PubMed: 28846099). It then triggers the activation of neurons localized within the parabrachial nucleus and central amygdala, which contitutes part of the 'emergency circuit' that shapes feeding responses to stressful conditions (PubMed: 28953886). On hepatocytes, inhibits growth hormone signaling (By similarity).
Fully tested in-house by ABMIUM, or supported by an advanced validation report from a partner reviewed by ABMIUM. Highest confidence. Non-conformities fully supported under the ABMIUM Product Promise.
Quality verified. Independent collaborator or expected-performance data available. Product meets ABMIUM quality standards.
Expected to work based on structural and biochemical data. Not yet directly tested by ABMIUM or a collaborator. No non-conformity support for this combination.
Not recommended for this application or species/sample combination. This may indicate either evidence of unsuitability or that the combination has not been tested and therefore cannot currently be recommended.

GDF15 identifies growth differentiation factor 15 in Homo sapiens (Human). This target record connects NCBI Gene 9518, UniProtKB Q99988 and related ABMIUM catalogue products.
Biological function: GDF15 is a secreted stress-responsive hormone/cytokine that communicates physiological stress to the brain. It binds GFRAL and forms a signalling complex with RET in brainstem neurons, producing responses that include reduced food intake and altered energy balance; circulating GDF15 is also widely studied in metabolic stress, pregnancy, cancer and cachexia.
