- 1. G17DT
- [An immunotoxin containing an epitope of human gastrin conjugated to diphtheria toxin, with antineoplastic activity. The gastrin epitope in this vaccine is chemically identical or similar to the endogenous gastrin-17 (G-17), a 17-amino acid peptide hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid by the stomach. Diphtheria toxin inhibits protein synthesis via modifying translation elongation factor 2 (EF-2). Vaccination with this immunotoxin may elicit production of antibodies against gastrinoma cells overexpressing gastrin, in addition to the toxic effects on protein synthesis exerted by the diphtheria toxin moiety.

- [Growth Differentiation Factor 9, encoded by the human GDF9 gene, is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily. This protein interacts with bone morphogenetic protein-15 and Bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II is a receptor for Growth Differentiation Factor-9. Both GDF9 mRNA and protein are abundantly expressed in oocytes of primary follicles in human ovary, suggesting that the GDF9 transcript is translated at this early stage of folliculogenesis. GDF9 is crucial for normal ovarian folliculogenesis and female fertility. GDF9 regulates human folliculogenesis in a manner specific to the ovary. A dysregulation of GDF9 expression may contribute to aberrant folliculogenesis in PCOS and PCO women.

- [Expressed in activated, but not resting, macrophages and in placenta, prostate, colon, and kidney by human PLAB Gene (BMP/TGF-Beta Family), 308-aa 34-kDa (precursor) Placental TGF-Beta is processed at a dibasic cleavage site to release C-terminal domains containing a characteristic motif of 7 conserved cysteines in a disulfide-linked homodimeric secreted mature protein of 224 amino acids. PLAB regulates tissue differentiation and maintenance and reduces the growth of granulocytes and macrophages. Unlike most TGFB superfamily members, in which the amino acid sequence is completely conserved, PLAB shares only 70% amino acid identity with its rodent counterparts.

- [Glial cell derived neurotrophic factor enhances the survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their uptake of dopamine. GDNF can rescue motor neurons from programmed cell death and death caused by axotomy. GDNF is a possible treatment for Parkinson disease because it can protect cells from the effect of the neurotoxin MPTP. GDNF is a ligand for the RET gene product and may contribute to Hirschsprung disease when mutated and combined with a mutant RET.

This protein is predominantly expressed in long bones during human embryonic development. Mutations in this gene are associated with acromesomelic dysplasia, Hunter-Thompson type; brachydactyly, type C; and chondrodysplasia, Grebe type. These associations confirm that the gene product plays a role in skeletal development.

| - 14. GDNF Family Receptor Alpha 2
- [GDNF Family Receptor Alpha 2, encoded by the human GFRA2 gene, is a member of the Glial Cell Line-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (GDNF) Receptor family. GDNF and neurturin (NTN) are two structurally related, potent neurotrophic factors that play key roles in the control of neuron survival and differentiation. GFRA2 is required for the development of the myenteric nerve plexus. This protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI)-linked cell surface receptor for both GDNF and NTN, and mediates activation of the RET tyrosine kinase receptor. This receptor acts preferentially as a receptor for NTN compared to its other family member, GDNF Family Receptor Alpha 1. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants, long and short, have been described for this gene but their full length nature is not known. The short form is found in brain and placenta. This gene is a candidate gene for RET-associated diseases. (From LocusLink, OMIM, Swiss-Prot and NCI) ( NCI )] (UMLS (NCI) C1457885) GDNF Family Receptor Alpha-2;

- 8. GDF8
- [Growth Differentiation Factor 8, encoded by the human GDF8 gene, is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. This protein plays a role in the control and maintenance of skeletal muscle mass. It acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth by signaling through receptor serine/threonine kinases. This protein is synthesized as a preprotein activated by 2 proteolytic cleavages. Removal of the signal sequence is followed by cleavage at a tetrabasic processing site, resulting in a 26-kD amino-terminal propeptide and a 12.5-kD carboxy-terminal peptide, a dimer of which is the biologically active portion of the protein.
