GDF-8 Price Comparison
Also referred to as: Myostatin
UK supplier comparison
Use the filters to pick a size and presentation (vial, pen or serum) and compare like for like, or view every size on a £ per mg basis. Delivery is shown separately because it varies by supplier and order size. Offers whose outbound link failed our last check stay listed but rank below working links.

Suppliers are being onboarded. This comparison will populate as listings go live. Everything below — the research profile, molecular facts and guides — is available now.
For in-vitro laboratory research only
GDF-8 is listed here as a research material. It is not for human or veterinary consumption, and nothing on this page is medical advice or dosing guidance. PeptideCompare is paid by flat supplier fees — never by sales commission or referral — so a price ranks by its number, not by who pays. We do not sell, test or verify any product, and quality or CoA labels are suppliers’ own claims. Always check the final price, documentation and legality with the supplier yourself.
Research profile
About GDF-8 in the lab
GDF-8 is the gene name for myostatin, a TGF-β family protein that limits skeletal muscle growth. Suppliers may list the mature protein, the propeptide or a related fragment under this name, so confirm the exact form and source on the certificate of analysis.
Proposed mechanism
Mature myostatin binds activin type II receptors (mainly ActRIIB) and signals through SMAD2/3 to restrain myoblast proliferation and differentiation.
Typical research themes
- TGF-β superfamily
- Identity verification
- Myoblast models
This profile is a short, general summary of publicly discussed science. It is not exhaustive, not peer-reviewed by PeptideCompare, and is not medical advice. PeptideCompare provides no dosing, protocol or usage guidance — nothing here is for human or veterinary use.
