Growth Differentiation Factor 8 (GDF-8), commonly known as Myostatin, is a crucial peptide in the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily. China Research has shown it plays a pivotal role in regulating skeletal muscle mass, primarily acting as a negative regulator of muscle growth by inhibiting myogenesis, the formation process of muscular tissue.
China Research suggests the GDF-8 peptide’s function is particularly interesting when interacting with its endogenous inhibitor, Follistatin, which binds to GDF-8 and neutralizes its activity. This interaction has significant implications for potential therapeutic applications of GDF-8 peptides.
