How MYO-029 works
MYO-029 is used to treat muscular dystrophy. It binds to and inhibit the activity of myostatin (growth and differentiation factor 8 or GDF-8), a protein that prevents skeletal muscle formation. Muscular dystrophy is characterized by a progressive wasting and weakening of muscle fibers. The disorder can be classified into six major types, all of which are inherited. The common feature of these disorders is absence of one of several proteins involved in linking F-actin (a muscle fiber component) to the sheath of tissue surrounding the fiber.
