Background Information

Myostatin, also known as GDF-8, is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily. Myostatin is expressed in the myotome and developing skeletal muscles. Myostatin negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth and development through the regulation of anabolic and catabolic pathways in skeletal muscles. Myostatin immunoreactive bands could be identified at ∼50, 32-35, and 16 kDa, which correspond to the precursor, glycosylated dimmer, and monomer, respectively (PMID: 17711997).
