GDF-8

GDF-8 (Myostatin) is a naturally occurring protein belonging to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily and is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle tissue. In controlled laboratory and in vitro research settings, GDF-8 has been examined for its involvement in receptor-mediated signaling pathways, including interactions with activin type II receptors and downstream SMAD-associated molecular mechanisms. This product is supplied exclusively for research and analytical purposes and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
