IHC analysis of GDF8/Myostatin/MSTN using anti-GDF8/Myostatin/MSTN antibody (A00926-2).
GDF8/Myostatin/MSTN was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human colon cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 μg/ml rabbit anti-GDF8/Myostatin/MSTN Antibody (A00926-2) overnight at 4°C. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using HRP Conjugated Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (Catalog # SV0002) with DAB as the chromogen.

Background of MSTN
Myostatin (also known as growth differentiation factor 8, abbreviated GDF-8) is a myokine, a protein produced and released by myocytes that acts on muscle cells' autocrine function to inhibit myogenesis: muscle cell growth and differentiation. In humans it is encoded by the MSTN gene. This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein negatively regulates skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with increased skeletal muscle mass in humans and other mammals.

Antibody Homology Across Species
The results generated by this homology analysis tool for commonly used animal species are shown below. For unlisted species, please refer to the homology analysis between the immunogen sequence and the corresponding species.
A homology of ≥90% is recommended. Generally, higher homology indicates a greater potential for cross-species reactivity. However, protein expression levels may vary among different species, tissues, and cell types. Therefore, the homology analysis results are for reference only and do not guarantee antibody cross-reactivity or experimental performance.
