Myostatin Signals through a Transforming Growth Factor β-Like Signaling Pathway To Block Adipogenesis
29 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Myostatin, a transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) family member, is a potent negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. In this study we characterized the myostatin signal transduction pathway and examined its effect on bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-induced adipogenesis. While both BMP7 and BMP2 activated transcription from the BMP-responsive I-BRE-Lux reporter and induced adipogenic differentiation,...
