Vectors for Human MSTN

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol MSTN
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name myostatin
  • Other Aliases GDF8; MSLHP
  • Other Desigations growth/differentiation factor 8; myostatin-b
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    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.
