| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6) plays a crucial role in the joint formation during skeletal development. Gdf6 is involved in the maintenance of articular cartilage of knee. Mutation of GDF6 leads to loss-of-function and causes Klippel-Feil syndrome. Microduplication of GDF6 leads to an autosomal-dominant rheumatic condition, Leri′s pleonosteosis (LP). Mutations in GDF6 causes Multiple synostoses syndrome subtype SYNS4. In SYNS4, there is fusion of joints leading to progressive conductive deafness. GDF6 plays a key role in ocular development and the mutation of GDF6 leads to microphthalmia and anophthalmia. Mutations in GDF6 also leads to Leber congenital amaurosis-17. |

| General description: | Growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6) is a secreted signalling molecule, that belongs to the family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). Gdf6 is expressed in embryonic tissues that is concerned with patterning of skeletal and soft tissue. In human chromosome, the gene GDF6 is localized on 8q22.1. |
| Immunogen: | a 17 amino acid peptide near the carboxy-terminus of the human GDF6. |
