This group of proteins is characterized by a polybasic proteolytic processing site which is cleaved to produce a mature protein containing seven conserved cysteine residues. It is expressed specifically in developing and adult skeletal muscle. It exists as a homodimer, and interacts with WFIKKN2, leading to inhibit its activity. This protein can act specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. It regulates cell growth and differentiation in both embryonic and adult tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConcentration\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eActivity\u003c\/b\u003e: Not validated for activity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSequence\u003c\/b\u003e: Lys262-Ser375\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurity\u003c\/b\u003e:  \u0026gt; 95 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormulation\u003c\/b\u003e: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.\u003cbr\u003eNormally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.\u003cbr\u003ePlease refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReconstitution\u003c\/b\u003e: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEndotoxin\u003c\/b\u003e:  \u0026lt; 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalculated MW\u003c\/b\u003e: 13.1 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eObservedMW\u003c\/b\u003e: 12-15 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GeneBio Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47982531772516,"sku":"PKSR030542","price":788.4,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/8588\/9636\/files\/no_image_default_image-jpeg_b00d7b6c-4c2c-4f5b-b967-2d5b7c6078b0.jpg?v=1772390075","url":"https:\/\/www.genebiosystems.com\/products\/recombinant-human-mouse-rat-gdf-8-myostatin","provider":"GeneBio ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
