none.

Description :

Mature Myostatin is obtained by proteolytic processing of a biologically-inactive precursor protein, which contains an N-terminal propeptide of 243 amino acid residues. Myostatin Propeptide exhibits high binding affinity for myostatin and has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of Myostatin. Over-expression of myostatin propeptide in mice resulted in large increases (up to 200%) in skeletal muscle mass, similar to those observed in Myostatin knockout mice. Recombinant Human Myostatin Propeptide is a 27.8 kDa protein consisting of 244 amino acid residues.

Catalog #:

120-12

Source :

E.coli

Stability :

The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20⁰C. Reconstituted Myostatin-Propeptide is stable for at least 3 months when stored in working aliquots with a carrier protein at -20⁰C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Purity :

Greater than 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.

Endotoxin Level :

Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per µg (1EU/µg).

Biological Activity :

Determined by its ability to neutralize the Myostatin inhibitory effect of murine MPC-11 cells. The expected ED₅₀ is 0.01–0.04 μg/ml in the presence of 50 ng/ml Myostatin.
