GDF15
GDF15 (growth differentiation factor 15; also MIC-1, NAG-1, PLAB, PTGFB, PDF) is a stress-responsive TGF-beta superfamily hormone signaling through the hindbrain GFRAL-RET receptor complex to suppress appetite; elevated in cancer cachexia, heart failure, and pregnancy nausea.
GDF2
GDF2, also called BMP9 or BMP-9 (UniProt Q9UK05), is a human gene at 10q11.22 encoding a liver-derived circulating TGF-beta superfamily cytokine signaling through ALK1 and endoglin; mutations cause PAH and HHT-like vascular disease.
GDF5
GDF5 (BMP-14, CDMP-1) is a TGF-beta/BMP superfamily signaling protein on human chromosome 20q11.22 that drives cartilage and joint development, binds BMPR1B preferentially, and whose mutations cause skeletal dysplasias and osteoarthritis susceptibility.
GDF9
GDF9, alias POF14, is a protein-coding human gene that encodes a TGF-beta superfamily ligand secreted by oocytes to regulate ovarian function and control follicle development.
GdFeCo
GdFeCo is an amorphous ferrimagnetic alloy of gadolinium with iron and cobalt, the prototypical material for all-optical switching, where single femtosecond laser pulses reverse its magnetization within picoseconds.
GDP deflator
The GDP deflator, also known as the implicit price deflator, is the broadest price index of an economy's domestic production, computed as nominal GDP divided by real GDP.
GDP dissociation inhibitor
GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI, RabGDI) is a chaperone protein that binds prenylated, GDP-bound Rab GTPases, extracts them from membranes into cytosolic Rab:GDP:GDI complexes, and recycles them during vesicular trafficking; GDI1 mutations cause X-linked intellectual disability.
GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase
GDP-mannose 4,6-dehydratase (GMD, GMDS, EC 4.2.1.47) is an SDR-family enzyme converting GDP-mannose to GDP-4-keto-6-deoxymannose with NADP+, the first step in GDP-fucose and GDP-rhamnose biosynthesis, feedback-inhibited by GDP-fucose.
GDP/GTP exchange factor Sec2, N-terminal
Sec2 N-terminal domain (yeast SEC2, UniProt P17065), the coiled-coil Rab GEF catalytic domain activating Sec4 for vesicle exocytosis; residues 1-160, homodimeric 220 A coiled coil, recruited by Ypt32, related to mammalian Rabin8.
GDRT
GDRT, conventionally vocalized Gadarat, was an early king of Aksum known from South Arabian inscriptions of the early third century AD, and probably the first Aksumite king to intervene in South Arabian politics.

GDScript
GDScript is a high-level, object-oriented, gradually typed programming language built for the Godot game engine. It uses Python-like, indentation-based syntax and offers optional static typing, introduced with Godot 3.1.
GDSII
GDSII, also written GDS2 or GDS, is a binary file format storing integrated circuit and photomask layouts, created by Calma in 1978 and still the standard handoff format at tape-out.
GDSL lipase/esterase
GDSL lipase/esterase (GELP), family II serine hydrolases with an N-terminal GDSL motif and SGNH catalytic residues; large plant gene family governing cuticle, seed oil, fertility, and stress traits, with industrial and crop-breeding uses.
GDT-AKI trial
GDT-AKI (NCT02396901), a University of Sao Paulo randomized trial testing goal-directed therapy with ACEI/ARB suspension to prevent AKI after cardiac bypass surgery in CKD 3-4 patients; registered 2015, 214 planned, no results posted.
