Target Information
Growth Differentiation Factor 8 (GDF8), also known as myostatin, is a protein encoded by the equine gene MSTN. Myostatin is a myokine produced and released by myocytes (muscle cells). It acts on muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth. Essentially, myostatin is a negative regulator of skeletal and cardiac muscle. Research has shown that the variation in serum myostatin concentrations among horses is not influenced by age or sex.
