Source:E.coliGDF-11 is a myostatin-homologous protein that acts as an inhibitor of nerve tissue growth. GDF-11 has been shown to suppress neurogenesis through a myostatin-like pathway, which involves the arrest of the progenitor cell cycle in the G1 phase. Similarities between myostatin and GDF-11, which are 90% identical in their amino acid sequence, s µggest that the regulatory mechanisms responsible for maintaining proper tissue size during neural and muscular development might be the same. Recombinant Human/Murine/Rat GDF-11 is a 25.0 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer containing two 109 amino acid polypeptide chains. It is highly homologous to myostatin/GDF-8, sharing 90% amino acid sequence identity.
Assay #1: Determined by its ability to inhibit induced alkaline phosphatase production by ATDC-5 chondrogenic cells. The expected ED50for this effect is 0.08-0.10 µg/ml. Assay #2: Determined by its ability to inhibit alkaline phosphatase activity in differentiating MC3T3/E1cells. The ED50 for this effect is 8-10 ng/ml.
