Follistatin 1MG is a research-grade protein material supplied for controlled laboratory research, scientific investigation, analytical testing, and biochemical research applications.
Follistatin is a naturally occurring protein associated with the FST gene. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the human FST gene encodes follistatin and produces alternatively spliced protein isoforms. NCBI also identifies follistatin as an activin-binding protein. (NCBI FST Gene).
Scientific literature has extensively investigated the relationship between follistatin and activin signaling. Research has characterized follistatin as an activin-binding protein capable of forming complexes with activin and modulating its biological activity. (PubMed – Follistatin and Activin).
LabRat Peptides supplies Follistatin 1MG as a Research Use Only (RUO) material for qualified research environments. This product is not intended for human consumption, self-administration, therapeutic use, clinical treatment, diagnostic use, veterinary applications, or food use.
Researchers can explore additional materials through the Research Peptides Collection and access educational resources through the LabRat Peptides Research Hub.
Follistatin is a biologically relevant protein that has been studied extensively in molecular biology, endocrinology, cell signaling, and protein interaction research.
The human FST gene is classified by NCBI as a protein-coding gene. NCBI records multiple follistatin transcript and protein variants, including FST317 and FST344. (NCBI Gene – FST).
Follistatin research is particularly relevant to studies examining the interaction between follistatin and members of the TGF-β superfamily, including activin.
Researchers studying protein interactions may use characterized follistatin research material as part of controlled laboratory workflows involving protein-binding studies, biochemical characterization, analytical testing, and molecular research.
For additional scientific information, researchers can review the NCBI FST gene record.
Follistatin has been investigated for its ability to interact with activin.
A peer-reviewed review indexed by PubMed describes follistatin as a specific binding protein for activin and discusses the formation of follistatin-activin complexes. (PubMed).
Other research has examined how follistatin can interfere with activin interaction with its receptors. A study published in Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology reported that follistatin inhibited activin binding to activin type II receptors in experimental systems. (PubMed).
Research has also investigated the structural determinants involved in follistatin's interaction with activin. A study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry examined the N-terminal region of follistatin and identified residues important for activin binding. (PubMed).
These scientific findings provide useful background for researchers investigating:
Researchers can review additional peer-reviewed literature through PubMed Follistatin Research.
One of the most extensively researched aspects of follistatin biology is its interaction with activin.
Follistatin can bind activin and form a protein complex. Scientific research has investigated how this interaction can influence the availability of activin for receptor binding. (PubMed).
The relationship between follistatin and activin makes follistatin research material relevant to laboratory investigations involving:
Researchers can investigate interactions between follistatin and activin using appropriate biochemical and analytical methods.
Follistatin research can contribute to studies examining signaling pathways involving activin and related proteins.
Follistatin provides a research model for studying protein structure, expression, binding characteristics, and biological signaling.
Researchers may investigate the molecular characteristics of follistatin using appropriate analytical techniques.
Because activin signaling involves receptor interactions, follistatin research can be relevant to controlled investigations of activin receptor pathways.

Follistatin 1MG is intended for controlled scientific research and analytical applications.
Potential research areas include:
The appropriate application depends on the researcher's experimental objectives, laboratory equipment, approved procedures, and applicable institutional requirements.
Follistatin research should be performed by qualified personnel using appropriate laboratory procedures.
The human FST gene encodes follistatin, and NCBI identifies follistatin as a protein-coding gene product involved in activin-related biological processes. NCBI also lists activin binding activity and activin receptor antagonist activity among the functional annotations associated with FST. (NCBI FST).
The molecular biology of follistatin has therefore been an important research subject in studies involving:
