Background Information
Follistatin (FST) is a member of the tissue growth factor β family and is a secreted glycoprotein that antagonizes many members of the family, including activin A, growth differentiation factor11 , and myostatin. It binds activin A with high affinity and whose expression can be induced by activin A and several other pro-inflammatory cytokines. Activin A-follistatin complexes are biologically inactive and bind to cell surface heparan sulphate-containing proteoglycans for internalisation and degradation. It has also been found to play a significant role in the management of skeletal muscle size and mass. It also has important roles in early embryonic development, differentiation of ovarian granulosa cells, liver fibrosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome. FS 288 glycosylation results in a major species of 35 kDa and a less abundant 40 kDa and minor products of 40 and 42 kDa (PMID: 9785474). Three typical follistatin bands are at 32, 35, and 39 kDa (PMID: 2036994).

Reviews
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
FH Jennifer (Verified Customer) (07-17-2023) | I am not sure what this antibody targets, but I am sure it is not Follistatin. This is a glycosylated protein that appears as a smear at ~40 - 50 kDa. However, with this antibody there is a single band at ~ 35 kDa. We have validated several FST antibodies using knock-down and overexpression cell lines so we know what to expect.
