Dating the onset of some mutations in myostatin gene determining the double muscled phenotype in beef cattle
Growth differentiation factor 8 (GDF8) or myostatin is a member of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily, which includes proteins that mediate key events in cell growth and development through signal transduction. In the absence of myostatin, the skeletal musculature...
