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