Human/Mouse/Rat GDF-8 Protein 2000

$405.00 – $1,300.00

Summary

Mammalian expression: HEK293
Active: Yes
Amino Acid Range: Asp267-Ser375

SKU: 2000parent Categories: proteins, Recombinant proteins Tag: active proteins

Weight	1 lbs
Dimensions	9 × 5 × 2 in
target	Human/Mouse/Rat GDF-8
express system	HEK293
product tag	No Tag
purity	> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE
background	Growth/differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), or myostatin, negatively regulates muscle mass. GDF8 is held in a latent state through interactions with its N-terminal prodomain. GDF8, like numerous TGF-β family members, is a disulfidelinked dimer that is synthesized as a precursor protein which requires cleavage by a furin-like protease to yield an N-terminal prodomain and a C-terminal mature, signaling domain.
molecular weight	The protein has a predicted MW of 12.40 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 13-15 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
available size	100 µg, 500 µg
endotoxin	Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Function
Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth.
Subellular location
Secreted .
Structure
Homodimer; disulfide-linked (PubMed:27625211). Interacts with WFIKKN2, leading to inhibit its activity (PubMed:12595574). Interacts with FST3 (PubMed:17878677).
Post-translational modification
Synthesized as large precursor molecule that undergoes proteolytic cleavage to generate an N-terminal propeptide and a disulfide linked C-terminal dimer, which is the biologically active molecule. The circulating form consists of a latent complex of the C-terminal dimer and other proteins, including its propeptide, which maintain the C-terminal dimer in a latent, inactive state. Ligand activation requires additional cleavage of the prodomain by a tolloid-like metalloproteinase.
