Description
GDF-8, also known as myostatin, is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily and a central regulator of skeletal-muscle mass in research models. Laboratory investigators study GDF-8 and myostatin-targeting molecules to characterize activin-receptor (ActRIIB) signaling, SMAD-pathway activation, and the negative regulation of muscle-fiber growth in vitro and in preclinical systems. Supplied for in-vitro and laboratory research only — not for human or veterinary use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I store my peptides?
Lyophilized (powder) peptides should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C (refrigerator) for short-term. Always protect from light and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
What is your return policy?
We offer damage protection on every order. If your product arrives damaged in transit, contact us with photos for a one-time replacement. All claims require photo evidence and are subject to review. One replacement per customer per order. Reconstituted products are not eligible. We do not offer refunds for change of mind or misuse.
Are your peptides third-party tested?
Yes, every batch is tested by independent, accredited U.S. laboratories for purity verification and Mass Spectrometry for identity confirmation. Test results are published on each product page as Certificates of Analysis (CoA).
How long does shipping take?
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days. Standard shipping typically arrives within 3-5 business days from fulfillment. Express and overnight options are available at checkout. Every order includes free shipment protection.
Do you ship internationally?
Currently, we ship within the United States only. We're working on expanding our shipping capabilities to serve researchers worldwide.

Research FAQ
Compound and research-use information
What is GDF-8 (Myostatin)?
GDF-8, also known as myostatin, is a member of the TGF-beta protein family that regulates skeletal-muscle growth in research models. It is supplied as a research protein for laboratory study.
What is GDF-8 (Myostatin) studied for in the research setting?
GDF-8 / myostatin is used in vitro and in preclinical research to study TGF-beta / activin type IIB receptor (ActRIIB) signaling and its role in the regulation of skeletal-muscle development. It serves as a reference ligand in myostatin-pathway investigations.
What form is Aurevena's GDF-8 (Myostatin) supplied in?
GDF-8 (Myostatin) is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Every batch is tested by independent, accredited U.S. laboratories for purity and identity, with the Certificate of Analysis published on this product page. Store lyophilized peptide cold and protected from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
