What it is: Ace-031 is an engineered soluble decoy receptor consisting of the extracellular ligand-binding domain of human activin receptor type IIB (ActRIIB) fused to the Fc portion of human IgG1.
How it works: By binding tightly to circulating myostatin, GDF-11, and activins, Ace-031 prevents these inhibitory ligands from interacting with cellular cell-surface ActRIIB receptors, driving pronounced lean muscle mass gains.
Why researchers study it: Researched in Phase 1/2 human clinical trials for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and ambulatory muscle preservation.

Viewing the syringe from an angle introduces a 1.0–2.5 unit parallax error. Always raise the barrel to direct eye level against a high-contrast white background. Align the front edge of the top black plunger seal ring with the target line.
Standard 5/16" (8mm) laboratory dispensing needles are calibrated for direct 90° fluid transfer into target analytical matrix vials. If utilizing 1/2" (12.7mm) cannulas in deep laboratory vessels, introduce at a 45° angle to avoid contact with vessel sidewalls.

Do NOT reconstitute all 46 vials simultaneously. Reconstitute one vial at a time as the active protocol requires. Once reconstituted with Bacteriostatic Water USP, a vial maintains stability for 28 days at +2°C to +8°C. Remaining unopened vials should be preserved in solid lyophilized cake form at -20°C to prevent hydrolysis and oxidation.
