Follistatin
Follistatin is an endogenous glycoprotein and high-affinity activin-binding protein. It sequesters activin A and myostatin (GDF-8), blocking their engagement with type II TGF-beta receptors. Research preparations use the recombinant truncated forms FS288 or FS315 for in vitro binding and neutralization studies in skeletal muscle and reproductive cell models. It is a foundational tool for dissecting myostatin pathway pharmacology within the TGF-beta superfamily. For laboratory research use only.
