In humans it is encoded by the MSTN gene. This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein negatively regulates skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with increased skeletal muscle mass in humans and other mammals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eImmunogen\u003c\/b\u003e: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human GDF8\/Myostatin\/MSTN, identical to the related mouse and rat sequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClonality\u003c\/b\u003e: Polyclonal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e: Each vial contains 4mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.01mg NaN3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurification\u003c\/b\u003e: Immunogen affinity purified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReconstitution\u003c\/b\u003e: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug\/ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReference\u003c\/b\u003e: 1.
