GDF-15 Inhibitors
GDF-15 inhibitors belong to a class of small molecules or biologics designed to specifically target and interact with Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15), a protein that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes within the human body. GDF-15, also known as MIC-1 (Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine-1) or PLAB (Placental Transforming Growth Factor Beta), is a member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily. It is secreted by a variety of cells, including macrophages, cardiomyocytes, and certain tumor cells, and it exerts its effects by binding to specific receptors on the cell surface.
The primary function of GDF-15 in its natural state is to regulate cellular growth, differentiation, and survival. However, aberrant overexpression of GDF-15 has been implicated in several pathological conditions, including cancer, inflammation, and metabolic disorders. GDF-15 inhibitors, therefore, are designed to modulate the activity of this protein. They work by either blocking its interaction with its receptors or inhibiting downstream signaling pathways. By doing so, GDF-15 inhibitors have the ability to offer a new avenue for research and development in various fields, as the precise manipulation of GDF-15 activity can have significant implications for understanding disease mechanisms.
