About This Section
Entrez Gene summary for GDF9 Gene:
Growth factors synthesized by ovarian somatic cells directly affect oocyte growth and function. Growth
differentiation factor-9 (GDF9) is expressed in oocytes and is thought to be required for ovarian
folliculogenesis. GDF9 is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily. (provided by RefSeq, Jul
2008)

GeneCards Summary for GDF9 Gene: 
GDF9 (growth differentiation factor 9) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with GDF9 include polycystic ovary syndrome, and blepharophimosis, and among its related super-pathways are Rac1 Pathway and Ras Pathway. GO annotations related to this gene include growth factor activity and cytokine activity. An important paralog of this gene is GDF15.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GDF9_HUMAN, O60383
Function: Required for ovarian folliculogenesis. Promotes primordial follicle development. Stimulates granulosa
cell proliferation. Promotes cell transition from G0/G1 to S and G2/M phases, through an increase of CCND1 and
CCNE1 expression, and RB1 phosphorylation. It regulates STAR expression and cAMP-dependent progesterone release
in granulosa and thecal cells. Attenuates the suppressive effects of activin A on STAR expression and
progesterone production by increasing the expression of inhibin B. It suppresses FST and FSTL3 production in
granulosa-lutein cells

About This Section
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: GDF9_HUMAN, O60383 (See protein sequence)
Recommended Name: Growth/differentiation factor 9 precursor  
Size: 454 amino acids; 51444 Da
Subunit: Homodimer or heterodimer (Potential). But, in contrast to other members of this family, cannot be
disulfide-linked (By similarity)
Subcellular location: Secreted (By similarity)
Miscellaneous: Ovarian physiology and fertility are controlled by endocrine and paracrine signals. These act in a
species-dependent manner and determine the ovulation quota in different mammalian species. While humans, and
mammals such as the cow or red deer, normally ovulate only one egg per cycle, other mammals such as mouse and pig
can ovulate in excess of ten per cycle. The mechanisms that regulate the species-specific differences in the
number of follicles that go onto ovulate during each reproductive cycle are poorly understood. According to
PubMed:21970812, mRNA expression levels of GDF9 and BMP15 are tightly co-regulated within each species and
influence species-specific ovulation-rates
