| Definition |
A TGF-beta-like cystine-knot cytokine that is closely related to the BMP family. These are produced as dimeric precursors and undergo post-translational processing for activation, requiring cleavage to release the bioactive C-terminal peptide. GDFs act as signaling molecules during embryonic tendon/ligament formation.
