Follistatin (FST-344)

Follistatin (FST-344) is a recombinant glycoprotein derived from the naturally occurring follistatin family, recognized for its high-affinity binding interactions with activin and myostatin proteins. It has been studied extensively in growth and tissue research for its relationship to muscle signaling pathways, cellular differentiation, and regulatory feedback within the TGF-beta superfamily.

Growth · 1mg · 3mL

Follistatin (FST-344) is a recombinant glycoprotein derived from the naturally occurring follistatin family, recognized for its high-affinity binding interactions with activin and myostatin proteins. It has been studied extensively in growth and tissue research for its relationship to muscle signaling pathways, cellular differentiation, and regulatory feedback within the TGF-beta superfamily. Its large multidomain protein structure distinguishes it from shorter peptide analogues and places it within a more complex category of biologic signaling compounds. Lyophilized powder, 3mL vial. Sold at 1mg per vial. For research use only.

Standard Follistatin-344 (FST-344) glycoprotein. Native sequence, ~1-2 hour half-life. Myostatin inhibitor and activin antagonist. DIFFERENT from FLGR242 (which is a modified construct with albumin-binding linker for extended half-life). Sourceable from multiple suppliers.
