Biochem/physiol Actions
Myostatin is a 25 KDa, homodimer, that acts on muscle to induce SMAD family transcription factors such as SMAD2 and SMAD3. It inhibits the differentiation of myoblasts into mature muscle fibers. Positive control for myostatin in Western blots and ELISA.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether myostatin alters glucose transporter-4 (GLUT4) expression in bovine skeletal muscles and myoblasts isolated from double-muscled (DM) and normal-muscled (NM) Japanese Shorthorn cattle. Plasma concentrations of glucose were lower in DM cattle

Myostatin regulates skeletal muscle size via the activin receptor IIB (ActRIIB). However, its effect on muscle energy metabolism and energy-dependent muscle function remains largely unexplored. This question needs to be solved urgently since various therapies for neuromuscular diseases based on

Myostatin is a recently identified member of the transforming growth factor-beta family of regulatory factors, also known as growth and differentiation factor 8 (GDF8). The nucleotide sequence of human myostatin was determined in 40 individuals. The invariant promoter contains a

The ubiquitin ligase RING finger protein 13 gene (RNF13) was first identified in a screen for genes whose expression is regulated by myostatin in chicken fetal myoblasts. In this study, we demonstrate that the RNF13 gene is broadly expressed in

Myostatin, a muscle-specific transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), negatively regulates skeletal muscle mass. The N-terminal prodomain of myostatin noncovalently binds to and suppresses the C-terminal mature domain (ligand) as an inactive circulating complex. However, which region of the myostatin prodomain is

Is this the active/mature myostatin protein or does is it the proprotein before being activated?
