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.
GDF-8 (propeptide-Fc) is a muscle growth inhibitory factor muscle growth and development process. Muscle inhibin is present in the healing process of muscle, and its nature is the inhibition of muscleogenesis (muscle tissue formation process). Scientists have been researching a new method of enhancing the repair and regeneration of muscle and bone in some lesions by introducing recombinant myostatin peptides through new recombinant muscle.
Myostatin / GDF-8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSTN gene. It isproduced primarily in skeletal muscle cells, circulates in the blood and acts on muscle tissue. 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 acting as a negative regulator of myostatin. Recombinant human Myostatin Propeptide is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 244 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 27.8 kDa. Our Myostatin 1mg is Tagged. The tags are chains/pile of amino acids/proteins, it is foreign protein that will cause immunization reaction in most cases.
1. Treat muscle atrophy, strengthen muscle toughness,Increase muscle number.
2. Treating malnutrition patients is an important index of the strength training athletes.
3. GDF-8 can effectively prevent the increased due to age brings the increase of adipose tissue, and reduce the occurrence of diabetes.
