GDF-8/11 Antibody (A-1) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b kappa light chain antibody that detects GDF-8/11 protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-GDF-8/11 antibody (A-1) is available as the non-conjugated form. GDF-8/11 protein, which includes myostatin, plays a crucial role in regulating muscle growth and development. Myostatin is primarily expressed in skeletal muscle and functions as a negative regulator of muscle differentiation and growth, making GDF-8/11 essential for maintaining muscle mass and preventing excessive muscle hypertrophy. Dysregulation of myostatin can lead to muscle-wasting diseases and conditions such as cachexia, highlighting GDF-8/11′s importance in both health and disease. GDF-11, another member of this protein family, is involved in various developmental processes, including organogenesis regulation in kidney and pancreas, as well as axial skeleton patterning. GDF-11′s ability to influence gene expression of GDNF and HOX further underscores GDF-11′s significance in developmental biology. With diverse roles in muscle regulation and organ development, GDF-8/11 monoclonal antibody (A-1) serves as a valuable tool for researchers studying these critical biological processes.

Hi. What is the difference between the gdf-8/11 "antibody" and the "blocking peptide"?

Asked by: Rumrunner79
Thank you for your question. GDF-8/11 Antibody (A-1) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b primary antibody recommended for detection of precursor and mature GDF-8 and GDF-11 of mouse, rat, human and avian origin by WB, IP, IF and ELISA. The blocking peptide, sc-398333 P, is a negative control that can be used to block the specific antigen binding sites of this primary antibody. Please refer to our Peptide Neutralization Protocol online for more information about how to use the antibody and blocking peptide together.

What application is the blocking peptide sc-398333 P appropriate for?

Asked by: Trav11
Thank you for your question. The blocking peptide is intended for use as a negative control, by pre-adsorbing the mouse monoclonal antibody against the antigen.
