Background: GDF-11/GDF-8

GDF-8, also known as Myostatin, belongs to the TGF-beta superfamily. It is synthesized as an inactive proprotein with the N-terminal pro-region and the C-terminal mature bioactive region. The GDF-8 proregion is capable of associating with active GDF-8 with high affinity and is a potent GDF-8 antagonist.
