Growth differentiation factor 9, also known as GDF9, is a human gene.[1]

Growth factors synthesized by ovarian somatic cells directly affect oocyte growth and function. Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF9) is expressed in oocytes and is thought to be required for ovarian folliculogenesis. GDF9 is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) superfamily.[1]

GDF9 plays an important role in the development of primary follicles in the ovary.[2] It has a critical role in granulosa cell and theca cell growth, as well as in differentiation and maturation of the oocyte.[3][4]

GDF9 has been connected to differences in ovulation rate[5][6] and in premature cessation of ovary function,[7] therefore has a significant role in fertility.

The cell surface receptor through which GDF9 generates a signal is the bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor (BMPR2).[8][9]
