What ACE-031 is
ACE-031 is a fusion protein combining the activin receptor type IIB extracellular domain with an antibody Fc region, developed as a myostatin-pathway inhibitor and taken into clinical trials in Duchenne muscular dystrophy before development was halted over vascular side effects.
It is a large recombinant protein, not a synthetic peptide, so it sits at the top of the price range and demands protein-appropriate analysis such as SDS-PAGE or SEC rather than peptide HPLC alone.
What the evidence base looks like
There is a real published record behind this compound, spread across animal work and a smaller amount of human data, but not enough controlled evidence to support confident claims.
Our library records roughly 26 relevant publications for ACE-031 and grades the evidence as moderate. That grade describes the weight of research, not a judgement about safety or effect, and it is reviewed as new work is published.
Supplier quality: what to check on ACE-031
Fusion proteins aggregate when mishandled, and aggregation is invisible without size-exclusion data.
The practical checklist is the same on every product but weighted differently here: a batch-matched certificate of analysis, an identity method appropriate to this molecule rather than purity alone, clear peptide content per 1mg vial, and a supplier that will answer a technical question before taking payment.
Typical UK pricing
The lowest price we currently track for a 1mg vial is £44.95, against a market median nearer £64. Compare on price per milligram rather than per vial, because vial sizes across suppliers are rarely identical.
A listing well below the tracked low is worth investigating rather than celebrating. On this compound the cost of doing it properly is largely analytical, and that is the first thing an unusually cheap supplier stops paying for.
