Follistatin

CAS number: 158709-61-6
Molecular Weight: 34.7 kDa
Formula: C5H6N4O2FOLLISTATIN (Activin-Binding Protein) is a synthetic adaptation of the natural protein follistatin that binds with activin, another protein. Activin stimulates the release of follicle-stimulating hormone and also encourages cellular proliferation. Follistatin inhibits activin. Overexpression of activin can lead to unlimited cell growth, which causes cancer. Follistatin can be used as a control for cell proliferation brought on by activin when it inhibits the protein from binding. This creates a complex between follistatin and activin, which deactivates it and prevents excessive proliferation.The drug could lessen inflammation in patients with asthma or colitis.It is important to follow the doctor’s instructions.Hypogonadism, cardiac hypertrophy, anxiety depression and lipid profile changes.Inhibin.
