Myostatin Recombinant Protein

CATALOG NUMBER: 40-199

Specifications
source-species:
E. coli
Species:
Human
source-species:
E. coli
Recombinant Protein Sequence:
DFGLDCDEHS TESRCCRYPL TVDFEAFGWD WIIAPKRYKA NYCSGECEFV FLQKYPHTHL VHQANPRGSA GPCCTPTKMS PINMLYFNGK EQIIYGKIPA MVVDRCGCS
Biological Activity:
Biological activity was determined by its ability to inhibit the proliferation of MPC - 11 cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 17.0 - 25.0 ng/mL.
Purity:
Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.

Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per μg (1EU/μg).
physical-state:
Lyophilized
Storage Conditions:
The lyophilized Myostatin recombinant protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20°C. Reconstituted Myostatin is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20°C. As with any protein, exposing Myostatin recombinant protein to repeated freeze / thaw cycles is not recommended. When working with proteins care should be taken to keep recombinant protein at a cool and stable temperature.

Background:
Myostatin is a TGF-beta family member that acts as an inhibitor of skeletal muscle growth. This muscle-specific cytokine interacts with Activin type I and type II receptors, and suppresses myoblast proliferation by arresting cell-cycle in the G1 phase. Suppression of myostatin activity facilitates muscle formation and may be useful in reducing and/or preventing adiposity and type-2 diabetes. Myostatin activity can be blocked by the Activin-binding protein Follistatin, and by the propeptide of Myostatin. Recombinant Human myostatin is a 25.0 kDa protein consisting of two identical 109 amino acid polypeptides linked by a single disulfide bond.
