Overview

sActRIIB is a recombinant protein, often engineered as an Fc-fusion protein, that functions as a ligand trap for the Activin Receptor Type IIB (ActRIIB). It binds to and sequesters multiple ligands, including myostatin (MSTN), activin A, and growth/differentiation factor 11 (GDF11), thereby inhibiting their signaling through ActRIIB. This inhibition promotes skeletal muscle growth (hypertrophy) and can lead to a reduction in fat mass.
