Description
GDF-8 (Growth Differentiation Factor 8), also known as Myostatin, is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily. It is studied in preclinical research as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, acting through activin type IIB receptor (ActRIIB) signaling.
Preclinical research indicates that GDF-8 signals through Smad2/3 phosphorylation to regulate muscle-specific gene expression. Inhibition of GDF-8 signaling pathways is studied for its effects on muscle hypertrophy, metabolic function, and body composition in laboratory models.
