| Alternative Names | Growth/differentiation factor 8; GDF-8; Myostatin; Mstn; Gdf8 | ||
| Description | Recombinant Human/Mouse/Rat Growth Differentiation Factor 8 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Lys262-Ser375 is expressed. | ||
| Calculated Molecular Weight | Mol Mass:13.1 KDa; APMol Mass:12-15 KDa, reducing conditions | Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Endotoxin | < 1 EU/µg as determined by LAL test. | Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. (QC verified) |
| Biological Activity | N/A | ||
| Reconstitution | Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. | ||
| Storage | Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months. | ||
| Shipping | The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below. | ||
| Background | Growth/differentiation factor 8(Mstn, GDF-8) 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. It is expressed specifically in developing and adult skeletal muscle. It exists as a homodimer, and interacts with WFIKKN2, leading to inhibit its activity. This protein can act specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. It regulates cell growth and differentiation in both embryonic and adult tissues. | ||
