Bimagrumab (Anti-ACVR2B Reference Antibody; BYM338) is a monoclonal antibody targeting activin type II receptors (ActRII). Bimagrumab binds to human ActRIIB (K_d 1.7 pM) and ActRIIA (K_d 434 pM), blocks ligand binding and downstream Smad activation, and inhibits myostatin/activin A-induced Smad phosphorylation. Bimagrumab induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy in an Akt-independent manner via mTOR-mediated muscle protein synthesis, increases muscle mass and strength, promotes myoblast differentiation/fusion, prevents myotube atrophy and glucocorticoid-induced muscle loss, reduces fat mass and fat depot weight/adipocyte size, inhibits adipose inflammation, induces fat oxidation, preserves lean body mass during incretin-induced weight loss, and enhances the appetite-suppressive effect of incretins. Bimagrumab can be used in research on obesity and skeletal muscle atrophy and weakness.

Molecular mechanism of Activin receptor inhibition by DLK1. [Abstract]

Bimagrumab purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: Nat Commun. 2025 Jul 1;16(1):5976. [Abstract]

Representative microscopy images showing C2C12 myoblast differentiation in the presence of Myostatin, soluble DLK1 + Myostatin, Bimagrumab + Myostatin, or Bimagrumab + soluble DLK1 + Myostatin. Control cells were allowed to differentiate for 72h. Myostatin treatment (4 µg/ml) inhibits C2C12 myoblast differentiation into myotubes as determined by MyoHC staining. Bimagrumab (100 nM) and soluble DLK1 (2 μM) reverse the effect of myostatin on C2C12 differentiation, with no additive effect of adding soluble DLK1 to Bimagrumab treated cells. C2C12 cells were fixed with 4% PFA, immunostained with an anti-MyoHC antibody and an anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342. Nuclei represented with pseudo color (magenta). The images are representative of one out of two imaging wells per treatment from one experiment. The experiment was independently repeated two times.

How should lyophilized recombinant proteins be reconstituted and stored?

1. Before opening the cap, centrifuge the vial at 13000 rpm for 20-30 seconds. This step will ensure that any lyophilized powder that may have adhered to the cap or walls is collected at the bottom of the vial, minimizing the risk of product loss.
