GDF-8 Protein, Human/Mouse/Rat (109a.a, HEK293)

Cat. No.: HY-P702874
Handling Instructions

GDF-8 (Growth Differentiation Factor 8) functions as a specific negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. It forms homodimers linked by disulfide bonds and inhibits WFIKKN2 activity through interaction. GDF-8 also interacts with FST3, playing a regulatory role in skeletal muscle growth modulation. GDF-8 Protein, Human/Mouse/Rat (109a.a, HEK293) is the recombinant rat-derived GDF-8 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with tag free.

Background

GDF-8 (Growth Differentiation Factor 8) serves as a specific negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. It forms homodimers linked by disulfide bonds and interacts with WFIKKN2, thereby inhibiting the activity of the latter. Additionally, GDF-8 interacts with FSTL3, contributing to its regulatory role in modulating skeletal muscle growth.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Dilution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
