Target Details

Target: MSTN (Myostatin (MSTN))

Alternative Name: Mstn

Background:

Synonyms: GDF-8, Myostatin

Background: Myostatin is a member of the TGF-β superfamily that is essential for proper regulation of skeletal muscle mass in a number of species ranging from fish to humans. Myostatin is a secreted protein that negatively regulates skeletal muscle mass determining both muscle fiber number and size. Inhibition of myostatin can increase muscle mass in a number of animal models of human disease, including muscular dystrophy. Recombinant human Myostatin is a non-glycosylated homodimer, containing two 109 amino acid chains, with a total molecular weight of 24.8 kDa.
