Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2660
Gene name Myostatin
Gene symbol MSTN
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GDF8MSLHP
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q32.2
Summary This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate
