Description
Myostatin is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily. It functions as a negative regulator of cellular signaling pathways involved in molecular regulation and enzymatic activity.
This protein undergoes post-translational modifications, including proteolytic cleavage and dimerization, to achieve its biologically active form. It is metabolized through receptor-mediated endocytosis and proteolytic degradation, with clearance pathways involving hepatic and renal processing.
