Growth differentiation factor 1 (GDF1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GDF1 gene.^[5]

Quick Facts Identifiers, Aliases ...

GDF1 belongs to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that has a role in left-right patterning and mesoderm induction during embryonic development.^[6] It is found in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves of embryos.^[5]^[6]
