Description: Myostatin (GDF8) is expressed uniquely in human skeletal muscle as a 12 kDa matureglycoprotein consisting of 113 amino acid residues and secreted into plasma. Myostatin isa member of the transforming growth factor ß superfamily of secreted growth anddifferentiation factors that is essential for proper regulation of skeletal muscle mass. Studies have shown that myostatin could play an important role in cardiac developmentand physiology.
