Description

Follistatin 344 (FST-344) is a research-grade recombinant human glycoprotein containing 344 amino acids. It is supplied in a precisely measured 1mg formulation. This compound is intended strictly for laboratory research applications under controlled experimental environments. In biological models, Follistatin functions as a potent, specific inhibitor of myostatin (GDF-8) and other TGF-beta superfamily members by physically binding to them and neutralizing their signaling pathways. Research utilizing this protein is heavily focused on its profound impact on skeletal muscle hypertrophy, localized tissue regeneration, and experimental modeling of muscle-wasting conditions. Each vial is manufactured under quality-controlled conditions to ensure consistency, high analytical purity, and experimental reproducibility.
