Description
Follistatin is a naturally occurring glycoprotein first characterized for its ability to bind and neutralize activin, a member of the TGF-beta superfamily involved in reproductive endocrinology. Its research significance expanded dramatically when investigators discovered it also binds myostatin (GDF-8) with high affinity, positioning follistatin at the center of muscle-growth regulation research. In preclinical models, manipulating the myostatin–follistatin axis has been shown to alter muscle mass phenotypes, making the protein a key reagent for laboratories studying muscle wasting, hypertrophy signaling, and TGF-beta superfamily crosstalk. Unlike short synthetic peptides, follistatin is a complex folded protein whose activity depends on tertiary structure, which makes analytical verification — identity, purity, and proper folding — especially important. Research applications include myoblast differentiation assays, ligand-binding studies, and in vivo models of muscle regulation. This 1MG presentation reflects the potency and handling requirements of a full-length bioactive protein. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Frequently asked questions
Which identity details matter when reviewing Follistatin?
Check the documented isoform, sequence and analytical identity. A listing labeled Follistatin 1MG does not by itself establish equivalence to every follistatin construct described in a paper.
How should the Follistatin 1MG quantity and batch identity be checked?
Read the quantity on the Follistatin 1MG vial label separately from the analytical identity and purity results. Match the product and lot identifier to the available report; a research article is not a certificate for this supplied batch.
What is the purity of Follistatin 1MG?
Review the matching report for Follistatin 1MG in the COA library. Read the reported method, identity information and purity result together, and match the lot identifier to the supplied material.
Is a Certificate of Analysis included with Follistatin 1MG?
Browse the published COA library for Follistatin 1MG. Confirm that an available report matches the supplied product and lot; contact NUPEPS for current batch documentation before purchase.
How fast is shipping for Follistatin 1MG?
Orders placed before 3PM EST ship the same business day from our USA facility. Estimated delivery is 2 business days. Flat $15 shipping per order.
Is Follistatin 1MG for human use?
No. Follistatin 1MG is strictly for laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.
