This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detecting Human MSTN (Myostatin). The assay range is from 0.625 to 40 ng/ml (Sandwich kit) with a sensitivity of 0.237 ng/ml. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. Activity loss rate and accelerated stability test ect have been conducted to guarantee the best performance of the products after long storage and delivery.

• High sensitivity and specificity
• Perfect reproducibility and consistency across batches
• Quality control with three-level inspections
• Wide range of targets/species available
• Intra-Assay: CV <10%, Inter-Assay: CV <12%

Myostatin  is a growth factor that limits muscle tissue growth, i.e. higher concentrations of myostatin in the body may cause the individual to have less developed muscles. The myostatin protein is produced primarily in skeletal muscle cells, circulates in the blood and acts on muscle tissue, apparently by slowing down the development of muscle stem cells. The precise mechanism remains unknown. Its functions in non-mammalian vertebrates appear to be somewhat conserved as muscle-specific actions have been demonstrated in birds. However, it is produced in many different fish tissues, suggesting that it may regulate more than just muscle mass in these vertebrates. Human Myostatin consists of two identical subunits, each consisting of 110 amino acid residues. Its total molecular weight is 25.0 kDa.
