Myostatin (also known as growth differentiation factor 8, abbreviated GDF-8) is a myokine, a protein produced and released by myocytes that acts on muscle cells' autocrine function to inhibit myogenesis: muscle cell growth and differentiation. In humans it is encoded by the MSTN gene. Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that is a member of the TGF beta protein family.
Animals either lacking myostatin or treated with substances that block the activity of myostatin have significantly more muscle mass. Furthermore, individuals who have mutations in both copies of the myostatin gene have significantly more muscle mass and are stronger than normal. Blocking the activity of myostatin may have therapeutic application in treating muscle wasting diseases such as muscular dystrophy.

Our GDF-8 is prepared via mature eukaryotic expression system. Multi-stage purification effectively removes heteroprotein and residual impurities, while vacuum freeze drying eliminates residual solvent. SDS documents can be provided upon request. Different from natural extracted protein, this recombinant reagent features controllable raw material source and is widely adopted as standard research reagent for signal pathway exploration in global biochemical labs.
Research Application Direction
The raw material is mainly used for in vitro target binding experiment, polypeptide structure-related basic research, cell-level biochemical exploratory testing and related academic project sample preparation by research institutions and biochemical laboratories. It can be applied for related mechanism exploration at cellular level under standard laboratory operating specifications.
Goods are packed with cold-proof foam and ice pack during long-distance shipment to maintain low-temperature transit environment. After receiving goods, buyers need to transfer the product into -20℃ sealed storage condition promptly as recommended storage requirement.
Important Compliance Supplement
The commodity is defined as biochemical experimental raw material only, not pharmaceutical intermediate, food additive or cosmetic raw material. End user shall abide by local chemical management regulations and relevant experimental operating specifications when using the goods. Any conversion processing for human administration purpose violates sales agreement and relevant regulatory requirements.
