Studies have showed that many of the members of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily play important roles in different stages of folliculogenesis. Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF-9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15), two members of TGF-β superfamily, which mainly expressed in mammalian oocyte, play a key role in follicle growth and development. This review discussed the roles of GDF-9 and BMP-15 during follicular development.Read More
