Recombinant Human Myostatin
- -
- -
BackgroundMyostatin (Mstn)is a secreted growth and differentiating factor (GDF-8) that belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily.1 It is expressed specifically in developing and mature skeletal muscle and appears to act as a negative regulator of muscle development.2 Myostatin plays a significant, direct role in bone formation and regeneration.3 Protein DetailsPurity >95% by SDS Page and HPLC Endotoxin Level <1.0 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method Biological Activity The biological activity of Human Myostatin was determined by the inhibition of the prolifiration of MPC-11 cells. The expected ED<sub>50</sub> is < 20 ng/ml.
