What is YK-11?
YK-11 is a steroidal myostatin inhibitor and partial AR agonist with a unique dual mechanism — induces follistatin (blocking GDF-8/myostatin anti-anabolic signalling) while providing partial androgenic activity. Research tool for myostatin biology, follistatin induction, and SARM-adjacent muscle growth pharmacology. Research use only.
Research Applications
Myostatin Inhibition
Follistatin induction, GDF-8 pathway suppression, muscle mass ceiling removal
Follistatin Biology
Follistatin mechanism, ActRIIB pathway, downstream myogenic signalling
Dual Mechanism Research
AR partial agonism + myostatin inhibition — isolated vs combined pathway dissection
Muscle Hypertrophy Models
Satellite cell activation without myostatin constraint, fibre size studies
Myostatin vs Follistatin
YK-11 follistatin vs direct anti-myostatin antibodies — comparative effectiveness
