Myostatin Active Protein | MSTN active protein
Active Myostatin (MSTN)
20mM Tris, 150mM NaCl, pH8.0, containing 1mM EDTA, 1mM DTT, 0.01% SKL, 5% Trehalose and Proclin300.
Stability: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.

Biological Activity Testing
(Myostatin (MSTN) also known as growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF-8) is a member of the TGF beta protein family. Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor that produced and released by myocytes. This protein negatively regulates skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Besides, Bone Morphogenetic Protein 1 (BMP1) has been identified as an interactor of MSTN, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human MSTN and recombinant human BMP1. Briefly, MSTN were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100uL were then transferred to BMP1-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-MSTN pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37. Finally, add 50uL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of MSTN and BMP1 was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.Figure. The binding activity of MSTN with BMP1.)

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Accurate Molecular Mass: 54kDa
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein negatively regulates skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with increased skeletal muscle mass in humans and other mammals.

Uniprot Description
MSTN: Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Defects in MSTN are the cause of muscle hypertrophy (MSLHP). MSLHP is a condition characterized by increased muscle bulk and strength. Affected individuals are exceptionally strong. Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

Product Notes
The MSTN mstn (Catalog #AAA2122332) is an Active Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is Asn24~Ser375. AAA Biotech's Myostatin can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell Culture, Activity Assays. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MSTN mstn for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Myostatin, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
