MSTN is 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 gene expression. The preproprotein of MSTN is proteolytically processed to generate each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. MSTN negatively regulates skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in MSTN are associated with increased skeletal muscle mass in humans and other mammals.
