Abstract excerpt
Myostatin belongs to the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and is expressed in developing and mature skeletal muscle. Biologically, the role of myostatin seems to be extremely well conserved during evolution since inactivating mutations in myostatin gene cause similar phenotype of heavy muscling in both mice and cattle. In this report we have analysed the genomic structure and neonatal...
