Product Summary for Mouse GDF-5 DuoSet ELISA
This DuoSet ELISA Development kit contains the basic components required for the development of sandwich ELISAs to measure natural and recombinant mouse GDF-5 / BMP-14. The suggested diluent is suitable for the analysis of most cell culture supernate samples. Diluents for complex matrices, such as serum and plasma, should be evaluated prior to use in this DuoSet ELISA.

Background: GDF-5/BMP-14
Growth Differentiation Factor-5, also known as BMP-14 and CDMP-1, is a member of the BMP family of TGF-beta superfamily proteins. GDF-5 signaling is mediated by formation of a heterodimeric complex consisting of a type 1 (BMPR-IB) and a type II (BMPR-II or Activin RII) serine/threonine kinase receptor which results in the phosphorylation and activation of cytosolic Smad proteins (Smad1, 5, and 8). Its signaling is antagonized by Noggin. GDF-5 is involved in multiple developmental processes including limb generation, cartilage development, joint formation, bone morphogenesis, cell survival, and neuritogenesis. GDF-5 can promote chondrogenesis, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis in mesenchymal stem cells.
