Overview

Follistatin 344 is a naturally occurring glycoprotein that antagonizes members of the TGF-beta superfamily, most notably myostatin and activin. By inhibiting myostatin, the primary negative regulator of muscle growth, Follistatin 344 allows unchecked muscle hypertrophy in research models.

Mechanism of Action

Follistatin 344 binds to and neutralizes myostatin (GDF-8) and activin A, preventing them from activating their receptors (ActRIIB). This removes the braking mechanism on muscle growth, allowing increased protein synthesis and satellite cell proliferation. The 344-amino acid isoform is the longest and most potent naturally occurring form.

Research Context

Myostatin knockout animals famously display dramatic muscle hypertrophy (the "Belgian Blue" cattle phenotype). Follistatin represents a pharmacological approach to achieving similar myostatin inhibition.

Key Research Areas

Myostatin antagonism and muscle hypertrophy
TGF-beta superfamily signaling modulation
Sarcopenia and muscle wasting conditions
Satellite cell proliferation and differentiation
Comparison with direct myostatin antibodies
Gene therapy applications (AAV-Follistatin)

Considerations for Researchers

Premium pricing due to protein size and complexity. Store at -80C for long-term or -20C for short-term. Verify biological activity through functional assays. Very limited vendor base.
