Other Notes

Small volumes of MSTN elisa kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

Searchable Terms for MSTN purchase

MBS283862 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip-or-full plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Myostatin (MSTN) ELISA Kit target analytes in biological samples. The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range in biological research samples containing MSTN. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS283862 kit is based on MSTN antibody-MSTN antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect MSTN antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, MSTN. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%).

NCBI Summary for MSTN

This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein negatively regulates skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with increased skeletal muscle mass in humans and other mammals.

UniProt Comments for MSTN

MSTN: Acts specifically as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Defects in MSTN are the cause of muscle hypertrophy (MSLHP). MSLHP is a condition characterized by increased muscle bulk and strength. Affected individuals are exceptionally strong. Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

Protein type: Secreted; Secreted, signal peptide

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q32.2

Cellular Component: cytoplasm; extracellular space

Molecular Function: cytokine activity; growth factor activity; heparin binding; identical protein binding; protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; receptor binding; transforming growth factor beta receptor binding

Biological Process: cell development; muscle maintenance; muscle organ development; negative regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of kinase activity; negative regulation of muscle hypertrophy; negative regulation of myoblast differentiation; negative regulation of protein kinase B signaling cascade; negative regulation of skeletal muscle tissue growth; ovulation cycle process; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated; regulation of apoptosis; regulation of MAPK cascade; response to electrical stimulus; response to estrogen; response to ethanol; response to gravity; response to heat; response to muscle activity; response to testosterone stimulus; skeletal muscle atrophy; skeletal muscle tissue regeneration; transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway
