Growth differentiation factor-1 (GDF1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GDF1 gene.[3]

GDF1 belongs to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that has a role in left-right patterning and mesoderm induction during embryonic development.[4] It is found in the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves of embryos.[3][4]
