Myostatin auto‐regulates its expression by feedback loop through Smad7 dependent mechanism
18 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Myostatin, a secreted growth factor, is a member of the TGF-beta superfamily and an inhibitor of myogenesis. Previously, we have shown that myostatin gene expression is regulated at the level of transcription and that myostatin is a downstream target gene of MyoD. Here we show that myostatin gene expression is auto-regulated by a negative feedback mechanism. Northern blot analysis indicated that there are...
