Growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6) is a protein belonging to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily that may regulate patterning of the ectoderm by interacting with bone morphogenetic proteins, [cite journal |author=Chang C, Hemmati-Brivanlou A |title=Xenopus GDF6, a new antagonist of noggin and a partner of BMPs |journal=Development |volume=126 |issue=15 |pages=3347–57 |year=1999 |pmid=10393114] and control eye development.
