GFRAL: The Receptor that Mediates the Metabolic Function of GDF-15 is Identified
Several high-profile papers have recently identified GFRAL as a receptor mediating GDF-15 effects on obesity and insulin resistance. R&D Systems’ new Recombinant Human GFRAL binds GDF-15 with an ED₅₀ in the sub ng/mL range. Learn More!

GMP, Animal Component-free Recombinant Human TGF-β and Fibronectin are now available!
Fibronectin and TGF-β can be important raw materials for culturing cells for cell therapy or regenerative medicine. GMP grade animal-free recombinant versions of these proteins have not been available… until now!

BCATs: Metabolic Regulators of Inflammation and Cancer Progression
R&D Systems is the only source for active Branched Chain Amino Acid Aminotransferases 1 (BCAT1) and BCAT2. These novel metabolic enzymes have potential roles in inflammation, neurodegenerative disease, and tumor progression. Learn More!

Anti-Zika Virus IgG Assay is More Specific Than the Competition
Homology among flaviviruses has made it difficult to develop assays that can distinguish between different types of infection. R&D Systems’ scientists have developed a specific assay that can distinguish between related Zika and Dengue virus infections. See the data showing the specificity of this assay vs. three others on the market. Learn More!
