Stanniocalcin‐2 inhibits skeletal muscle growth and is upregulated in functional overload‐induced hypertrophy

Abstract Aims Stanniocalcin‐2 (STC2) has recently been implicated in human muscle mass variability by genetic analysis. Biochemically, STC2 inhibits the proteolytic activity of the metalloproteinase PAPP‐A, which promotes muscle growth by upregulating the insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) axis. The a...
