Growth differentiation factor-1 (GDF1) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the GDF1 is_associated_with::gene.

GDF1 belongs to the is_associated_with::transforming growth factor beta superfamily that has a role in left-right patterning and is_associated_with::mesoderm induction during is_associated_with::embryonic development. It is found in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves of embryos.
