Full Name
Growth Differentiation Factor 15
Introduction
This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. The protein is expressed in a broad range of cell types, acts as a pleiotropic cytokine and is involved in the stress response program of cells after cellular injury. Increased protein levels are associated with disease states such as tissue hypoxia, inflammation, acute injury and oxidative stress.

Alternative Names
Growth Differentiation Factor 15; Prostate Differentiation Factor; Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug-Activated Gene-1; Placental Bone Morphogenetic Protein; Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1; NSAID-Activated Gene 1 Protein; NSAID-Regulated Gene 1 Protein; Placental TGF-Beta; GDF-15; MIC-1; NAG-1
Function
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 constitutes part of the 'emergency circuit' that shapes feeding responses to stressful conditions (PubMed:28953886).

On hepatocytes, inhibits growth hormone signaling (By similarity).
