Description
Follistatin is a glycoprotein that binds and neutralizes myostatin and activin, which helps promote muscle growth by lifting the inhibition on muscle differentiation. It acts by blocking activin receptors, leading to increased protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy. Beyond muscle, it also influences fat metabolism, glucose regulation, and liver lipid processing. These effects are driven by its broad role in modulating the TGF-beta superfamily and its downstream signaling pathways.
Follistatin Research Details
Follistatin binds activins and other TGF-beta family ligands, altering downstream SMAD signaling. Research literature examines reproductive biology, muscle and myostatin models, metabolic regulation, fibrosis biology, and ligand-trap mechanisms.

Quality Verification
Each batch should be reviewed against its Certificate of Analysis, including identity confirmation, purity method, mass/sequence or component confirmation, appearance, and lot-specific handling notes. Blend products should be checked against component-ratio documentation where available.
Laboratory Preparation
Prepare only inside a qualified laboratory using validated solvent choice, concentration, sterility, and storage protocols. For lyophilized peptides, use sterile deionized water or bacteriostatic water when appropriate for the research protocol, mix gently, maintain cold-chain handling, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Product-Specific Q&A
What is Follistatin used for in research?
Follistatin is used as a research material for activin/myostatin pathway assays, tgf-beta signaling, muscle-cell differentiation models, and ligand-binding studies. It is not offered for diagnostic, therapeutic, clinical, veterinary, or human-use applications.
What mechanism is most relevant for Follistatin?
Activin-binding glycoprotein studied for modulation of TGF-beta superfamily ligands including activins and myostatin/GDF-8.
How should Follistatin identity and purity be verified?
Use the lot-specific Certificate of Analysis to confirm identity, purity, mass/sequence or component profile, and any method-specific data such as LC-MS/HPLC. Technical values on this page are research references and should be checked against the delivered lot.
What storage conditions apply to Follistatin?
-4°F long-term; 35-46°F short-term refrigerated; 39°F after reconstitution for up to 30 days when appropriate for the research protocol. Keep sealed, dry, protected from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles after preparation.
