Differential Response to Exogenous and Endogenous Myostatin in Myoblasts Suggests that Myostatin Acts as an Autocrine Factor<i>in Vivo</i>
24 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
Myostatin is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily that is essential for proper regulation of skeletal muscle growth. As do other TGF-beta superfamily members, myostatin signals into the cell via a receptor complex that consists of two distinct transmembrane proteins, known as the type I and type II receptors. Vertebrates have seven distinct type I receptors, each of which can mix and match with one of five type I...
