It is found in the skeletal muscle of mammals.
Myostatin is a protein which is found in certain persons. It is made in the cells of muscles, and is carried through ones blood stream where it attaches itself to other muscles. From there, it inhibits their growth.
your born with it
"MY-OH-STAT-IN"
When you see your baby abs showing a little at that age and muscle on the back and arms. You will see that they have myostatin. When you don't see any. When they are one years old let them do one chin up and when they can they are myostatin.
Myostatin is the protein that is secreted to initiate growth. It effects the muscles because it inhibits muscle differentiation and growth.
Myostatin is a protein that is in the human body. It is specially encoded by the MSTN gene and is usually in the skeletal muscle cells to inhibit muscle growth and differentiation.
My human physiology is a bit rusty but if I remember correctly hormone supplementation can inhibit the body's ability to produce that hormone on its own. So my question is this: could supplementation with myostatin (GDF8) effect (read: lower or shut down) the body's ability to produce the hormone on it's own?
If you have a genetic defect in myostatin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin ha! if it is not the condition above, then im certain that it is not actually possible unless you have a disorder or peculiar growth spurt. good luck, if you do find out, please tell me

myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy which increases muscle mass while lowering body fat. This rare condition is also called myotonic hypertrophy
Very little, much less than Angus, Shorthorn or Simmentals have, thanks to the myostatin mutation that allows less connective tissue and fat in the muscle fibres of this breed of beef cattle.
A Belgian blue is an animal that appears to have way more muscle mass on it than normal. Some people think that it is caused by overdose of steriods, or "working out in the gym," both of which are false. The gene myostatin has been mutated to allow this double muscling to occur in this breed.
