Note on nomenclature: This is the ActRIIB-derived myostatin-binding peptide. The name “ACE-031” is also historically associated with a larger recombinant ActRIIB-Fc fusion protein; the material supplied here is the 24-residue synthetic peptide identified by CAS 1621169-52-5, confirmed by sequence and mass. Reported activity Myostatin Inhibitory Peptide 7 is studied as a myostatin (GDF-8) ligand-binding peptide, derived from the activin receptor type IIB binding region. Published research contexts include:
- Myostatin/GDF-8 binding studies — SPR and competitive binding assays characterizing affinity and kinetics against ActRIIB
- TGF-β superfamily signaling — SMAD pathway modulation downstream of myostatin
- Skeletal muscle biology — myoblast proliferation, differentiation, and hypertrophy models
- SAR reference — benchmarking novel myostatin-antagonist peptide analogs
