Product Description |
Recombinant Human/Mouse/Rat GDF-8 Protein is expressed from HEK293 without tag.It contains Asp267-Ser375. |
Product Background |
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. |

no |
Amino Acid Range |
Asp267-Ser375 |
Molecular Weight |
The protein has a predicted MW of 12.40 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 13-15 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
