| Biological Activity: | The protein has full biological activity when compared to a standard. The activity is determined by its ability to inhibit 50ng/ml of Myostatin on MPC-11 cells and is typically 0.13-0.2 ?g/ml. |
Myostatin (GDF-8), a member of the TGFbeta superfamily, is a potent and specific negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. In serum, myostatin circulates as part of a latent complex containing myostatin propeptide and/or follistatin-related gene. The myostatin propeptide is known to bind and inhibit myostatin in vitro. This interaction is relevant in vivo, with a majority (>70%) of myostatin in serum bound to its propeptide. The myostatin propeptide is negative regulator of myostatin in vivo.
Recombinant Human Myostatin Propeptide is a 27.8kDa protein containing 244 amino acid residues of the human Myostatin Propeptide.
| UniProt Protein Function: | MSTN: Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Defects in MSTN are the cause of muscle hypertrophy (MSLHP). MSLHP is a condition characterized by increased muscle bulk and strength. Affected individuals are exceptionally strong. Belongs to the TGF-beta family. |
