Redundancy of myostatin and growth/differentiation factor 11 function (2009)

McPherron, Alexandra C, Huynh, Thanh V, Lee, Se-Jin

Abstract Background Myostatin (Mstn) and growth/differentiation factor 11 (Gdf11) are highly related transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) family members that play important roles in regulating...

Double muscling in cattle due to mutations in the myostatin gene

McPherron, Alexandra C., Lee, Se-Jin

Myostatin (GDF-8) is a member of the transforming growth factor β superfamily of secreted growth and differentiation factors that is essential for proper regulation of skeletal muscle mass in mice....

Regulation of myostatin activity and muscle growth

Lee, Se-Jin, McPherron, Alexandra C.

Myostatin is a transforming growth factor-β family member that acts as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. To identify possible myostatin inhibitors that may have applications for...

Suppression of body fat accumulation in myostatin-deficient mice

McPherron, Alexandra C., Lee, Se-Jin

Myostatin is a TGF-β family member that acts as a negative regulator of muscle growth. Mice lacking the myostatin gene (Mstn) have a widespread increase in skeletal muscle mass resulting from a...

Activation of latent myostatin by the BMP-1/tolloid family of metalloproteinases

Wolfman, Neil M., McPherron, Alexandra C., Pappano, William N., Davies, Monique V., Song, Kening, Tomkinson, Kathleen N., ...

Myostatin is a transforming growth factor β family member that acts as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Myostatin circulates in the blood of adult mice in a noncovalently held complex...

Myostatin Inhibition in Muscle, but Not Adipose Tissue, Decreases Fat Mass and Improves Insulin Sensitivity

Guo, Tingqing, Jou, William, Chanturiya, Tatyana, Portas, Jennifer, Gavrilova, Oksana, McPherron, Alexandra C.

Myostatin (Mstn) is a secreted growth factor expressed in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue that negatively regulates skeletal muscle mass. Mstn−/− mice have a dramatic increase in muscle mass,...
