Background:Â
Growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) was first identified as Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 or MIC-1.[1] [2] It is a protein belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily. Under normal conditions, GDF-15 is expressed in low concentrations in most organs and upregulated because of injury of organs such as such as liver, kidney, heart and lung.[3][4] The function of GDF-15 is not fully cleared but is seems to have a role in regulating inflammatory pathways and to be involved in regulating apoptosis, cell repair and cell growth, which are biological processes observed in cardiovascular and neoplastic disorders.[3][5] GDF-15 protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury.[6] GDF-15 has shown to be a strong prognostic protein in patients with different diseases such as heart diseases and cancer.[7]
