蛋白结构（Molecular Characterization）
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the N-terminus. The protein migrates as 14kDa, 35 kDa and 45-50 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE), speculated as mature GDF-8, propeptide and latent GDF-8 respectively due to glycosylation.
内毒素（Endotoxin）
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
纯度（Purity）
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
>90% as determined by SEC-MALS.
制剂（Formulation）
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4,0.2M Arg with trehalose as protectant.

Protocol
背景（Background）
Growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8), also known as myostatin, is a unique member of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily that is expressed in human granulosa cells and has important roles in regulating a variety of ovarian functions. GDF8 acts as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth and differentiation. In addition to the expression in the musculoskeletal system, GDF8 is also expressed in various tissues, including the reproductive system.
