YK-11 Powder (Myostine)

A. Introduction

YK-11 (Myostine) is one of the most complex compounds in the SARM category, distinguished by its unique steroidal backbone. Unlike non-steroidal SARMs, YK-11 is frequently studied for its dual-action potential as both a partial androgen receptor agonist and a potential myostatin inhibitor via the induction of follistatin. Our YK-11 powder is synthesized to meet the precise requirements of high-level genomic and proteomic research.

B. Scientific Overview

Chemically identified as (17α,20E)-17,20-[(1-methoxyethylidene)bis(oxy)]-3-oxo-19-norpregna-4,20-diene-21-carboxylic acid methyl ester ($C_{25}H_{34}O_{6}$), YK-11 is a derivative of ethisterone. In in-vitro laboratory settings, researchers investigate how YK-11 modulates the expression of myogenic regulatory factors. Specifically, it is utilized to study the up-regulation of Follistatin, a glycoprotein that acts as an antagonist to Myostatin.
