Myostatin Human Recombinant produced in Nicotiana benthamiana plant is a single chain containing 115 amino acids (molecular formula C586H865N165O164S12) and 6-His-tag at the N-terminal having the total molecular mass of 13.2kDa.
GDF8 is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily. 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. The members of this family are regulators of cell growth and differentiation in both embryonic and adult tissues. This gene is thought to encode a secreted protein which negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Myostatin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
