反应种属 | Mouse |
应用 | Western Blot(0.1 µg/mL) |
目标/特异性 | Detects GDF‑8/Myostatin Propeptide in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs, less than 10% cross‑reactivity with mature recombinant mouse (rm) GDF-8 is observed and less than 5% cross-reactivity with mature rmGDF-1, -3, -5, -6, -7, -9, and recombinant human GDF-11 is observed. |
使用方法 | Western Blot: 0.1 µg/mL Neutralization: Measured by its ability to neutralize GDF‑8 Propeptide inhibition of GDF‑8/Myostatin-dependent hemoglobin expression in the K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 10-30 µg/mL in the presence of 800 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse GDF‑8 Propeptide and 40 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse GDF‑8/Myostatin. |

背景 | Growth Differentiation Factor 8 (GDF-8), also known as Myostatin, is a secreted TGF-beta superfamily protein that is expressed specifically in developing and adult skeletal muscle. It controls myoblast proliferation and is a potent negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass (1‑3). Mouse GDF-8 is synthesized as a 376 amino acid (aa) preproprotein that consists of a 24 aa signal peptide, a 243 aa propeptide, and a 109 aa mature protein (2). Within the propeptide, mouse GDF-8 shares 96% and 99% aa sequence identity with human and rat GDF-8, respectively. GDF-8 is secreted as a preproprotein that is cleaved by BMP-1 family proteases to separate the 35‑40 kDa propeptide from the 12 kDa bioactive mature protein (4‑6). This results in a latent complex containing a disulfide-linked dimer of the mature protein and two noncovalently-associated molecules of the propeptide (2, 6). The GDF-8 propeptide functions as an inhibitor of mature GDF-8, and GDF-8 activity can also be inhibited through association with Follistatin, FLRG, Decorin, or GASP-1 (6‑11). The uncleaved GDF-8 proprotein binds Latent TGF-beta bp3 which can sequester it in the extracellular matrix and prevent the proteolytic cleavage of the propeptide (12). GDF-8 binds to the type II Activin receptor Activin RIIB which then associates with the type I receptors Activin RIB/ALK-4 or TGF-beta RI/ALK-5 to induce signaling (13). GDF-8 additionally inhibits adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and preadipocytes (14). Genetic deletion of GDF-8 or in vivo administration of the GDF-8 propeptide induces muscle hypertrophy as well as enhanced glucose utilization and insulin sensitivity and a reduction in overall fat mass (15, 16). |

GDF‑8 Propeptide Inhibition of GDF‑8/Myostatin-induced Hemoglobin Expression and Neutralization by Mouse GDF‑8 Propeptide Antibody. Recombinant Mouse GDF‑8 Propeptide (Catalog # 1539‑PG) inhibits Recombinant Mouse GDF‑8/Myostatin (Catalog # 788‑G8) induced hemoglobin expression in the K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the psuedoperoxidase assay. Inhibition of Recombinant Mouse GDF‑8/Myostatin (40 ng/mL) activity elicited by Recombinant Mouse GDF‑8 Propeptide (800 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Sheep Anti-Mouse GDF‑8/Myostatin Propeptide Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1539). The ND50 is typically 10-30 µg/mL. |
