Growth Differentiation Factor 3  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • GDF-3

Scope note

  • A growth differentiation factor that may play a role in maintaining the undifferentiated state of PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS by inhibiting the actions of BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEINS. Differentiation factor 3 is also considered a nodal signaling ligand that influences the genesis of left-right asymmetry.
