Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Synonym | GDF-8, MSTN, Growth Differentiation Factor 8, MSTN Muscle Hypertrophy. |
Background | 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. |
Description | Recombinant Human Myostatin Propeptide is a 27.8kDa protein containing 244a.a. residues of the human Myostatin Propeptide. |

Purity | >95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | 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 μg/ml. |
Formulation | Lyophilized with no additives. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time. |
