How It Works: Follistatin-344 functions as a potent inhibitor of the TGF-β superfamily members, particularly myostatin and activin, by binding to them and preventing their interaction with cell surface receptors, thereby facilitating muscle growth and other regenerative processes.
Binds directly to myostatin, blocking its inhibitory effects on muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Antagonizes activin, which regulates follicle-stimulating hormone secretion and cellular processes like proliferation and apoptosis. Upregulates muscle hypertrophy and strength by removing negative growth regulators. May support wound healing and neuroprotection through modulation of inflammatory and growth factor pathways.
