Product Details
GDF-8, also named Myostatin, belongs to TGF-β superfamily protein peptide, a core research-grade lyophilized compound widely applied in skeletal muscle physiology, endocrinology and metabolic pathway laboratory research. It is the key endogenous negative regulatory factor of skeletal muscle development, mainly used for preclinical mechanism study of muscle growth, muscle atrophy and lipid metabolism researches.
Core Research Application & Mechanism
GDF-8 binds to ActRIIB receptor on muscle cell membrane and activates SMAD signaling pathway to suppress myoblast proliferation and muscle hypertrophy for lab trials:
- Research on skeletal muscle growth regulation & myogenesis signal pathway
- Experimental study for sarcopenia, muscular dystrophy and muscle wasting disorders
- In vitro screening research of myostatin inhibitor compounds (Follistatin, YK11 correlative test)
- Fat metabolism & body composition related preclinical laboratory testing
Product Key Features
