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.
