Descriptions:Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is the neurotrophic factor, belonging to the GDNF family of ligands (GFL) and identifying as a therapeutic candidate in Parkinson's disease. GDNF is a 23.7 kDa protein containing 211 residues that plays a critical role in promoting the survival and differentiation of midbrain dopamine neurons. Besides, GDNF is revealed to facilitate the development of peripheral tissues such as kidney, pancreas and lung. Additionally, as a member of GFL, GDNF also takes part in the progression of tumor.

Descriptions:GDF-3 (previously called Vgr-2) is a TGF-beta superfamily member belonging to the growth/differentiation factor family. GDF-3 is expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES) cells, white adipose tissue and the brain. The 366 amino acid (aa) mouse GDF-3 contains a 22 aa signal sequence, a 230 aa propeptide and a 114 aa mature protein that contains one potential N-glycosylation site. The mature region contains a cysteine-knot structure that is conserved throughout family members. However, it lacks the fourth cysteine which is responsible for the formation of an inter-molecular disulfide bond, so GDF-3 may exist as a non-covalent homodimer. Mature human GDF-3 shares 83%, 83% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat GDF-3. Most of GDF-3 is present as the uncleaved prepro form. The uncleaved and the mature forms both appear to have activity, but that activity may differ. All forms can oppose BMPs. In ES cells, inhibition of BMP2 signaling by GDF-3 maintains pluripotency. GDF-3 also influences early cell fate decisions; for example, deletion of mouse GDF-3 produces defects in the anterior visceral endoderm of the pre-gastrulation embryo. GDF-3 cooperates with GDF-1 in embryogenesis, and the mature protein has nodal-like activity. Although GDF family members signal through BMP receptors (ALK1, 2, 3 and 6), which activate Smads 1, 5 and 8, GDF-3 signaling through ALK4 and ALK7, which activate Smads 2 and 3, has also been reported. In adipocytes, GDF-3 is induced by a high fat diet, promoting adipogenesis and obesity.

Descriptions:Interleukin 36 gamma (IL-36 gamma) is a 17.65 kDa cytokine with 159 amino acid residues. IL-36 gamma is a member of the IL-1 family and is mainly expressed in keratinocytes, bronchial epithelial cells, macrophages, and monocyte. This cytokine responds to multiple pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and participates in the inflammatory response. In addition, it also induces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-12, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-23.

Descriptions:Insulin Like Growth Factors 1 (IGF-I) is a 7.81 kDa member of the Insulin-like Growth Factors with 71 amino acid residues. IGF-I is mainly expressed from liver, adipose tissue, cervi, endometrial stromal cells, leydig cells, and can be isolated from plasma. IGF-I is mediating the protein anabolic and promoting effect of pituitary growth hormone. IGF-I also affects metabolism of glycogen, DNA synthesis and glucose uptake via binding to IGF-I receptor.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 11 (CXCL11) also named Interferon-gamma-inducible protein 9 (IP-9), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL11 is a 8.8 kDa protein containing 79 amino acid residues. To CXCR3, CXCL11 has higher affinity than CXCL10 and CXCL9 which plays a role in immune activation. CXCL11 induces the activation of T cells which is also a chemotaxis for T cells. CXCL11 is produced in response for IFN Family.

Descriptions:Interleukin-34 (IL-34) is a 30 kDa cytokine with 223 amino acid residues. IL-34 is a ligand of CSF-1R and secreted from CSF-1R expressing cells like myeloid cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and neurons. IL-34 mediates cell survival, proliferation, cytokine/chemokine expression, and migration via activating several signaling pathways. Moreover, it also plays a critical role in developing and maintaining the mononuclear phagocytic system.

Descriptions:Interleukin 12 (IL-12) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with a molecular weight of 70 kDa composed of two subunits, IL-12 p35 (35 kDa) and IL-12 p40 (40 kDa). IL-12 p40 is induced in excess over the other subunits of IL-12 and IL-23 and can exist in a monomeric or homodimeric form.
