Follistatin 344 1mg for Laboratory Research
Follistatin 344 is a recombinant glycoprotein studied as a myostatin and activin antagonist in muscle- and tissue-research models. This 1mg vial is supplied as a lyophilized powder at greater than 98% purity with a certificate of analysis and manufactured in the USA. It is sold strictly as a research chemical for in-vitro and laboratory use by qualified professionals.
Mechanism of Action
In research models, Follistatin binds and neutralizes TGF-beta-family ligands including myostatin and activin, and is studied for its influence on muscle and tissue growth-signaling pathways in cell and animal systems.
Preclinical Research
Follistatin antagonism of myostatin and activin is studied in muscle-physiology and tissue-research literature using cell and animal models. These findings describe mechanisms in laboratory systems and do not establish outcomes in humans.
Research Applications
Follistatin 344 is used as an investigational tool in myostatin/activin signaling and muscle-research. Laboratories studying related anabolic-signaling pathways may run it alongside Tesamorelin. Reconstitution requires bacteriostatic water.
Protocol & Handling
Reconstitute the lyophilized powder with bacteriostatic water to the concentration required by the study protocol. Store the sealed lyophilized vial at -20°C; once reconstituted, keep it refrigerated at 2 to 8°C and protect it from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. All handling should follow standard laboratory safety practice. These parameters describe in-vitro handling only.
