This antibody reacts with endogenous NAG-1 protein from human tissues. A BLAST analysis using the immunizing recombinant protein suggests reactivity with NAG-1 from human and chimpanzee based on 100% and 98% homology, respectively, and with macaque based on an 94% homology, and with mouse and rat based on 70% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with NAG-1 from other sources has not been determined.
GDF-15 belongs to the TGF-beta cytokine family, whose members play an important role during prenatal development and postnatal growth, and the remodeling and maintenance of a variety of tissues and organs. GDF-15 is expressed predominantly in the placenta and, to a much lesser extent, in various other tissues. The presence of GDF-15 in amniotic fluid and its elevated levels in the sera of pregnant women suggest GDF-15's involvement in gestation and embryonic development. GDF-15 generally exerts tumor suppressive activities and is one of the predominant factors produced and secreted in response to activation of the p53 pathway. Interestingly, the serum level of GDF-15 is positively correlated with neoplastic progression of several tumor types, including certain colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancers.
