GDF15, also known as macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) or NAG-1, is a divergent member of the TGF-beta superfamily that has emerged as a critical biomarker and functional mediator across multiple research domains. This stress-responsive cytokine plays significant roles in cellular metabolism, inflammation, and tissue homeostasis, with elevated circulating levels associated with cardiovascular disease, cancer cachexia, and metabolic disorders. Its expression in placental tissue and upregulation in various malignancies, including prostate cancer, has made GDF15 an increasingly important target for both basic research and translational studies.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 5D2, offers the consistency and reliability that demanding experimental workflows require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma-derived reagents, ensuring reproducible results across longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The human IgG1 isotype format and affinity-chromatography purification deliver a high-purity reagent suitable for sensitive detection applications.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates robust performance in paraffin-embedded human prostate cancer tissue, with recommended working dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200 providing flexibility to optimize signal intensity for your specific tissue types and detection systems. The antibody has also been validated for ELISA applications, supporting quantitative analysis of GDF15 levels in appropriate sample formats.
Researchers investigating cardiovascular biology, cancer metabolism, cellular stress responses, or TGF-beta superfamily signaling will find this antibody a valuable tool for characterizing GDF15 expression patterns and exploring its functional significance in human disease models.
