Background Information

GDF9 (Growth/differentiation factor 9) belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDF9 is required for ovarian folliculogenesis. GDF9 and BMP15 are oocyte-secreted factors with a leading role in the control of ovarian function in female reproduction, modulating both the cell fate of the somatic granulosa cells and the quality and developmental competence of the egg (PMID: 29544636). GDF9 promotes cell transition from G0/G1 to S and G2/M phases, through an increase of CCND1 and CCNE1 expression, and RB1 phosphorylation (PMID: 19366876). It regulates STAR expression and cAMP-dependent progesterone release in granulosa and thecal cells. GDF9 attenuates the suppressive effects of activin A on STAR expression and progesterone production by increasing the expression of inhibin B (PMID: 21829661). It suppresses FST and FSTL3 production in granulosa-lutein cells  (PMID: 21632818, PMID: 21829661).
