Target Details for Follistatin

Target: Follistatin (FST)

Alternative Name: Follistatin

Background: Follistatin is a secreted protein that binds to ligands of the TGF beta family and regulates their activity by inhibiting their access to signaling receptors. It was originally discovered as activin antagonists whose activity suppresses expression and secretion of the pituitary hormone FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). In addition to being a natural antagonist, follistatin can inhibit the activity of other TGF beta ligands including BMP-2, -4, -6, -7, Myostatin, GDF-11, and TGF beta1. Follistatin is expressed in the pituitary, ovaries, decidual cells of the endometrium, and in some other tissues.

Molecular Weight: 31.5 kDa (predicted detection band MW)

Pathways: Negative Regulation of Hormone Secretion
