Regulation of anterior/posterior patterning of the axial skeleton by growth/differentiation factor 11.

Nature genetics - 1 Jul 1999

McPherron A C, Lawler A M, Lee S J

Abstract excerpt

The bones that comprise the axial skeleton have distinct morphological features characteristic of their positions along the anterior/posterior axis. We previously described a novel TGF-beta family member, myostatin (encoded by the gene Mstn, formerly Gdf8), that has an essential role in regulating skeletal muscle mass. We also identified a gene related to Mstn by low-stringency screening. While the work described...
