Growth/Differentiation Factor 8 (Myostatin or GDF8 or MSTN) - Pipeline Review, H2 2018
Summary
Growth/Differentiation Factor 8 (Myostatin or GDF8 or MSTN) - Myostatin also known as growth differentiation factor 8 or GDF-8 is a myokine a protein produced and released by myocytes. This protein is part of the transforming growth factor beta (TGFß) superfamily. Myostatin is found almost in muscles used for movement, where it is active both before and after birth. This protein normally restrains muscle growth, ensuring that muscles do not grow too large.
Growth/Differentiation Factor 8 (Myostatin or GDF8 or MSTN) pipeline Target constitutes close to 13 molecules. The molecules developed by companies in Phase III, Phase II, Phase I and Preclinical stages are 2, 4, 3 and 4 respectively. Report covers products from therapy areas Musculoskeletal Disorders, Central Nervous System, Genetic Disorders, Gastrointestinal, Hematological Disorders, Metabolic Disorders and Oncology which include indications Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (Myositis Ossificans Progressiva), Muscular Dystrophy, Sarcopenia, Anemia, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type I, Crohn's Disease (Regional Enteritis), Insulin Resistance, Muscle Wasting Disorders, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Myelofibrosis and Thalassemia.
