Myostatin Propeptide Recombinant Protein

Mature Myostatin is obtained by proteolytic processing of a biologically-inactive precursor protein, which contains an N-terminal propeptide of 243 amino acid residues. Myostatin Propeptide exhibits high binding affinity for myostatin and has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of Myostatin. Over-expression of myostatin propeptide in mice resulted in large increases (up to 200%) in skeletal muscle mass, similar to those observed in Myostatin knockout mice. Recombinant Human Myostatin Propeptide is a 27.8 kDa protein consisting of 244 amino acid residues.

The lyophilized Myostatin Propeptide recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20˚ C. Reconstituted Myostatin Propeptide is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20˚ C. As with any protein, exposing Myostatin Propeptide recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.
