GDF 15 ( growth differentiation factor 15 )
The premature GDF/PDF/MIC-1 protein consists of 308 amino acids that contain a 29 amino acid signal peptide, a 167 amino acid propeptide, and a 112 amino acid mature protein. The mature protein is secreted as a homodimer linked by disulfide bonds and is released from the propeptide following intracellular cleavage at RXXR furine-like cleavage site. The mature peptide of GDF-1/MIC-1 contains two...
متن کاملGrowth-Differentiation Factor-15 for Risk Stratification in Patients With Stable and Unstable Coronary Heart Disease
Background—Growth-differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is a stress-responsive transforming growth factor-related cytokine that has emerged as a prognostic biomarker in acute coronary syndrome trial populations. Its predictive role in stable coronary heart disease (CHD) has never been assessed. Methods and Results—The circulating levels of GDF-15 were measured by immunoradiometric assay in patient...
متن کاملIncreased expression of growth differentiation factor-15 in systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension.
BACKGROUND Growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15 is a secreted member of the transforming growth factor-β cytokine superfamily. GDF-15 levels are elevated in the serum of patients with cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that GDF-15 levels would also be increased in the plasma and lung tissue of patients with systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH). METHO...
متن کاملGrowth differentiation factor 15: a canary in a coal mine?
It has been 50 years since Dr. William B. Kannel coined the term “factors of risk” in relation to cardiovascular disease (1). Since then, clinical risk assessment, including the use of circulating biomarkers, has become an integral part of medical practice. The current era of genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics is projected to lead to the discovery of an immense number of novel candidate bio...
متن کاملGrowth Differentiation Factor 15 at 1 Month After an Acute Coronary Syndrome Is Associated With Increased Risk of Major Bleeding
BACKGROUND Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is related to major bleeding when measured at initial presentation in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) treated with dual antiplatelet therapy. It is unknown whether follow-up measurements provide additional information. The objective of this study was to investigate whether GDF-15 measured 1 month after an ACS provides additional...
