| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in ovarian granulosa cells. Present in oocytes of primary follicles (at protein level). |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated.phosphorylation is critical for GDF9 function. In vitro, can be phosphorylated by CK at Ser-325. |
| Function | Required for ovarian folliculogenesis. Promotes primordial follicle development. Stimulates granulosa cell proliferation. Promotes cell transition from G0/G1 to S and G2/M phases, through an increase of CCND1 and CCNE1 expression, and RB1 phosphorylation. It regulates STAR expression and cAMP-dependent progesterone release in granulosa and thecal cells. Attenuates the suppressive effects of activin A on STAR expression and progesterone production by increasing the expression of inhibin B. It suppresses FST and FSTL3 production in granulosa-lutein cells. |
