Growth/differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), or myostatin, negatively regulates muscle mass. GDF8 is held in a latent state through interactions with its N-terminal prodomain. GDF8, like numerous TGF-β family members, is a disulfidelinked dimer that is synthesized as a precursor protein which requires cleavage by a furin-like protease to yield an N-terminal prodomain and a C-terminal mature, signaling domain.

Species Human/Mouse/Rat Protein Construction
GDF-8 (Asp267-Ser375)_x000D_ Accession # O14793(Human) / O08689(Mouse) / O35312(Rat) Purity > 95% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE Endotoxin Level Less than 1 EU per μg by the LAL method. Biological Activity Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Test result was comparable to standard batch. Expression System HEK293 Theoretical Molecular Weight 12.40 kDa Apparent Molecular Weight Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 13-15 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. Formulation Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 4 mM HCl. Reconstitution Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in 4 mM HCl. Storage & Stability Upon receiving, the product remains stable for 6 months at -20°C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
