Description générale

FST (follistatin) is an activin-binding protein, and exists in two isoforms due to alternate splicing, FS288 and FS315. It is a glycoprotein with a single chain, and acts as an activin antagonist. It has a high level of expression in fetal membranes and placenta.

Application

FST (follistatin) has been used for trophoblast fusion assay and the measure of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) concentration in hormone assays. It is also suitable for the development of chondrocytes from hESc (human embryonic stem cells) by a new 3-Stage directed differentiation protocol (DDP).

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

FST (follistatin) binds to and regulates activins, which in turn are TGF (transforming growth factor)-β superfamily members. The expression level of FST and its binding partner activin A is elevated in inflammatory disorders. The activin A-follistatin system plays an essential role in the modulation of glucose and lipid metabolism, which might have an overall effect on fetal growth. In adipose tissue, it facilitates the adipogenic differentiation of progenitor cells.
High-affinity activin-binding protein that can act as an activin antagonist.

Forme physique

Lyophilized from a solution in 30% acetonitrile and 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid containing 1.25 mg bovine serum albumin.

Remarque sur l'analyse

The biological activity is measured by its ability to neutralize activin-induced bioactivity on K562 cells (erythroid differentiation).

In early development of Xenopus laevis, it is known that activities of polypeptide growth factors are negatively regulated by their binding proteins. In this study, follistatin, originally known as an activin-binding protein, was shown to inhibit all aspects of bone

There are two types of the activin-binding protein follistatin (FS), FS-288 and FS-315. These result from alternative splicing of mRNA. FS-288 exhibits high affinity for cell-surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans, whereas FS-315 shows low affinity. To understand the physiological role of
