Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15), also known as GDF-9B, is a TGF-β superfamily ligand that is expressed by oocytes throughout folliculogenesis, and plays an important role in oocyte development. BMP-15 promotes the FSH-independent proliferation of ovarian granulosa cells (GC) and induces GC glycolysis and cholesterol synthesis. It also induces GC production of stem cell factor which, in turn, negatively regulates BMP-15 expression in oocytes. BMP-15 blocks the FS-induced GC expression of FSH R and multiple steroidogenic molecules.
