Product Details

Supplier Product No.: 009-001-u88-0100

Supplier: Rockland

Purpose: Human Follistatin Recombinant Protein

Purification: Follistatin purity was determined to be greater than 95% as determined by analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.

Endotoxin Level: Measured by LAL is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein.

Biological Activity Comment: The activity is determined by the dose-dependent neutralization of 7.5 ng/mL human Activin A. Complete neutralization is typically reached at less than 0.3 ug/mL.

Target Details

Target: Follistatin (FST)

Alternative Name: FST

Background:

Synonyms: FS, activin-binding protein, FSH-suppressing protein (FSP)

Background: Follistatin is an autocrine acting protein that is expressed by many tissues, but at noteably higher levels in the ovary and skin. Follistatin functions to negatively regulate the signaling of a wide variety of TGF-beta family members (activin, BMPs, myostatin, GDF-11 and TGF-beta 1). Mechanistically, follistatin works as an antagonist by complexing with TGF-beta family members to prevent them from interacting with their signaling receptors. Recombinant human Follistatin is a non-glycosylated protein, containing 289 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 31.7 kDa.
