Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the inhibition of the proliferation of MPC-11 cells and is typically less than 20 ng/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Myostatin purity was determined to be greater than 95% as determined by analysis by UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Myostatin is a member of the TGF-β superfamily that is essential for proper regulation of skeletal muscle mass in a number of species ranging from fish to humans. Myostatin is a secreted protein that negatively regulates skeletal muscle mass determining both muscle fiber number and size. Inhibition of myostatin can increase muscle mass in a number of animal models of human disease, including muscular dystrophy. Recombinant human Myostatin is a non-glycosylated homodimer, containing two 109 amino acid chains, with a total molecular weight of 24.8 kDa.
