Biological Activity	The activity is determined by the inhibition of the proliferation of MPC-11 cells and is typically less than 20 ng/ml.
Description	Myostatin is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily that is essential for proper regulation of skeletal muscle mass in a number of species ranging from fish to humans. Myostatin is a secreted protein that negatively regulates skeletal muscle mass determining both muscle fiber number and size. Inhibition of myostatin can increase muscle mass in a number of animal models of human disease, including muscular dystrophy. Recombinant human Myostatin is a non-glycosylated homodimer, containing two 109 amino acid chains.
Endotoxin Level	Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically <= 1 EU/ug protein.
Formulation	Recombinant human Myostatin is lyophilized with no additives.
Molecular Weight	24.8 kDa
Reconstitution	Centrifuge vial prior to opening. When reconstituting the product, gently pipet and wash down the sides of the vial to ensure full recovery of the protein into solution. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized product with 20 mM HCl at a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml, which can be further diluted into other aqueous solutions.
Storage and Stability	Lyophilized product is very stable at -20C. Reconstituted material should be aliquoted and frozen at -20C. It is recommended that a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is added for long term storage. This depends upon the particular application employed. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
