GDF-8 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody
Product Specifications
Background
Myostatin (MSTN) Homo sapiens 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016], function:Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth., online information:Myostatin entry, similarity:Belongs to the TGF-beta family., subunit:Homodimer; disulfide-linked (By similarity) . Interacts with WFIKKN2, leading to inhibit its activity.
