General description
Biochem/physiol Actions
FST (follistatin) binds to and regulates activins, which in turn are TGF (transforming growth factor)-β superfamily members. The expression level of FST and its binding partner activin A is elevated in inflammatory disorders.[1] The activin A-follistatin system plays an essential role in the modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, which might have an overall effect on fetal growth. In adipose tissue, it facilitates the adipogenic differentiation of progenitor cells.[3]
High affinity activin-binding protein that can act as an activin antagonist.
Physical form
Recombinant Mouse Follistatin 288 is supplied as a approximately 25 μg of protein lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 30% acetonitrile and 0.1% TFA containing 1.25 mg of bovine serum albumin.
Analysis Note
The biological activity is measured by its ability to neutralize activin-induced erythroid differentiation on K562 cells.

Activin A and its binding protein follistatin (FS) are increased in inflammatory disorders and sepsis. Overexpression of activin A in the lung causes similar histopathological changes as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). ARDS and severe respiratory failure are complications of

Out of a panel of 37 candidate genes tested for linkage with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the strongest evidence of linkage was reported in the follistatin (FST) gene region. Subsequently, a couple of studies outside India investigated the FST gene
