    GlossaryGrowth Differentiation Factor 8 (Myostatin)

    inhibits muscle growth by signaling muscles to stop growing

    Growth Differentiation Factor 8 (GDF-8), also known as Myostatin, is a protein that inhibits muscle growth. It plays a crucial role in regulating muscle mass by signaling muscles to stop growing, ensuring that muscle growth does not become excessive. This protein is of particular interest in medical research for its potential implications in treating muscle-wasting diseases and enhancing muscle growth in livestock.
