Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Myostatin [Myo2/1A]
  • Alternate names: Growth/differentiation factor 8, GDF-8, myostatin, GDF8, MSTN
  • Clone: Myo2/1A
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary Antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Molecular weight of the target: 52 kDa
  • Application: WB
  • Description: Myostatin is a well-characterized negative regulator of skeletal muscle and can inhibit myogenesis and stimulate adipogenesis. Clone Myo 2/1A has been shown to have the reverse effect, up-regulate myogenesis and down-regulate adipogenesis.
