Endocrinology
. 2012 Feb;
153(3):1509-18.
PMID: 22294741
Genetic studies have identified bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP15) as an essential regulator of female fertility in humans and in sheep. Oocyte-derived BMP15 is a noncovalently linked dimeric growth factor mediating...

. 2010 Oct;
332(1-2):106-15.
PMID: 20937357
Oocyte-derived bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP15) is critical for the regulation of mammalian fertility. Previously we have found that a C-terminal His(6)-tag destroys the bioactivity of growth differentiation-9 (GDF9, a homolog...

. 2009 Dec;
139(3):587-98.
PMID: 20007639
Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein-15 (BMP15) are among the key regulators transmitting the signaling between the oocyte and the surrounding granulosa cells. Previously, it has been shown...

Mol Cell Endocrinol
. 2007 Dec;
283(1-2):58-67.
PMID: 18162287
Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF9) is an oocyte secreted paracrine factor essential for mammalian ovarian folliculogenesis. Like other members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) superfamily, GDF9 is synthesized as a...

Gilchrist R, Ritter L, Myllymaa S, Kaivo-Oja N, Dragovic R, Hickey T, et al.
J Cell Sci
. 2006 Aug;
119(Pt 18):3811-21.
PMID: 16926195
Oocytes regulate follicle growth by secreting paracrine growth factors that act on neighbouring granulosa cells (GCs). Those factors identified to date are mainly members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta)...

. 2005 Mar;
129(4):481-7.
PMID: 15798023
The oocyte-secreted polypeptide growth factors, growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15, also known as GDF9B) have both been shown to be essential for ovarian follicular...

PMID: 15483083
In the human ovary, cell growth and differentiation are regulated by members of the TGF-beta superfamily, including growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF9), TGF-beta, and activin. TGF-beta and activin are known to...
