Follistatin 1mg

Description

Follistatin Technical Overview

Follistatin is a naturally occurring glycoprotein involved in the regulation of activin and related members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily.

Follistatin binds to selected signaling ligands, influencing their availability for receptor activation.

Research has investigated Follistatin in reproductive biology, muscle-associated signaling, cellular differentiation, and the regulation of TGF-β family pathways.
