Follistatin

Description

Follistatin

Also known as: FST, FS344, FS315

This is a naturally occurring glycoprotein known for binding to and suppressing myostatin and activin—proteins that play key roles in controlling muscle growth and cellular development. Because it influences these regulatory pathways, this peptide has drawn significant scientific attention, particularly in the fields of muscle biology, regenerative medicine, tissue recovery, and metabolic function. The two primary forms studied in research are Follistatin 315 and Follistatin 344.

Common areas of investigation include:
– Mechanisms of myostatin inhibition
– Processes involved in muscle growth and development
– Approaches to tissue repair and regeneration
– Applications in stem cell research and regenerative therapies
– Signaling pathways related to metabolism and cell function

• Status: Currently under investigation – gene therapy in clinical trials. Evidence level: Studies conducted in humans.
• Typical dose: Insufficient public data; refer to specific research protocols. Administered via subcutaneous injection.
• Investigated for: Enhancing muscle growth, inhibiting myostatin, and improving body composition.
