NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene binds to and negatively regulates activin, as well as other members of the transforming growth factor beta family, and acts to prevent uncontrolled cellular proliferation. This protein also contains a heparin-binding sequence. It is expressed in many of the tissues in which activin is synthesized and is thought to clear activin from the circulation by attachment to the cell surface. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode multiple protein isoforms, including FST315 and FST288, that differ at their C-terminus. Another isoform, FST303 is thought to be produced by proteolytic cleavage of FST315. These isoforms differ in their localization and in their ability to bind heparin. While FST315 is a circulating protein, FST288 is tissue-bound, and FST303 is gonad-specific. While deletion of all isoforms results in embryonic lethality, expression of just FST288 is sufficient for embryonic development, but the resultant mice have fertility defects.

Product Notes
The Guinea Pig FS fst (Catalog #AAA732156) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA732156 ELISA Kit recognizes Guinea Pig FS. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Follistatin, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
