GDF-5 is expressed in long bones during embryonic development and
postnatally in articular cartilage. Mutations in the GDF-5 gene have
been implicated in Hunter-Thompson type dwarfism and in
Grebe Syndrome, which is characterized by short stature, extra digits,
and short and deformed extremities. The mature and functional form of
GDF-5 is a homodimer of two 120 amino-acid polypeptide chain (monomers)
linked by a single disulfide bond. Each GDF-5 monomer is expressed as
the C-terminal part of a precursor polypeptide, which also contains a 27
amino acid signal peptide and a 354 amino acid propeptide. This
precursor undergoes intracellular dimerization, and upon secretion it is
processed by a furin-type protease. Recombinant Human GDF-5 is a 27.0
kDa homodimeric disulfide-linked protein consisting of two 120 amino
acid polypeptide chains.
