GDF-8 (Growth Differentiation Factor-8), also known as Myostatin, is a member of the TGF-β superfamily and is a key negative regulator of muscle growth.
Recombinant GDF-8 is used in studies focused on skeletal muscle hypertrophy, tissue remodeling, and metabolic control. It acts via the ActRIIB receptor to suppress myoblast proliferation, and is investigated in models of muscular dystrophy and cachexia. Provided at high purity, GDF-8 supports advanced protein-receptor interaction assays.
