Follistatin – Myostatin/Activin Antagonist Protein | 1mg Lyophilized Powder | RUO Grade | BlueBiotech® Research Supply
High-Affinity Binding Protein for Muscle Growth, Fertility, and Regeneration Studies | Made in USA | Research Use Only
Follistatin is a high-affinity glycoprotein that binds and neutralizes members of the TGF-β superfamily, particularly myostatin and activin. It is a critical regulator of muscle development, reproductive signaling, and tissue repair. Widely used in studies of hypertrophy, infertility, and inflammation. Supplied as 1mg RUO-grade lyophilized protein. For Research Use Only – Not for human or veterinary use.

🧬 What is Follistatin?
Follistatin is a naturally occurring autocrine glycoprotein known for its ability to bind and inhibit members of the TGF-β superfamily, especially Myostatin (GDF-8) and activin A. These proteins are responsible for limiting skeletal muscle growth. By neutralizing their activity, Follistatin promotes muscle hypertrophy, enhances tissue regeneration, and has shown promise in therapeutic models of muscular dystrophy and cachexia.
In peptide form (often expressed via gene therapy vectors or recombinant analogs), Follistatin has become a focal point in muscle-building research, post-injury recovery, and anti-aging studies.
