About this item
Quality control test, Indirect ELISA – to determine titer of the antibody , SDS PAGE – to determine purity of the antibody, and BCA - to determine quantity of the antibody.
Myostatin (GDF 8) is expressed uniquely in human skeletal muscle as a 12 kDa mature glycoprotein consisting of 109 amino acid residues and secreted into plasma. Myostatin is a member of the transforming growth factor β superfamily of secreted growth and differentiation factors that is essential for proper regulation of skeletal muscle mass. Studies have shown that myostatin could play an important role in cardiac development and physiology. In serum, myostatin circulates as part of a latent complex containing myostatin propeptide and/or follistatin-related gene. The myostatin propeptide is known to bind and inhibit myostatin in vitro. This interaction is relevant in vivo, with a majority (>70%) of myostatin in serum bound to its propeptide. The myostatin propeptide is negative regulator of myostatin in vivo.
Storage temperature: The lyophilized antibody remains stable and fully active until the expiry date when stored at –20 °C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles and store frozen at –80 °C. Reconstituted antibody can be stored at 4 °C for a limited period of time; it does not show decline in activity after one week at 4 °C.
