What is Follistatin 344 (95%) (1mg)?

Follistatin 344 (FS-344) is a recombinant isoform of the larger follistatin family, derived from alternative splicing of the FST gene. This 344–amino-acid glycoprotein is present in various tissues and secreted into circulation, functioning as a high-affinity binding antagonist to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) family proteins—specifically activin A and myostatin. FS-344 features reduced affinity for activin compared to other isoforms, while retaining potent myostatin neutralization capability [1][2][3].

Chemical Structure of Follistatin 344 (95%) (1mg)

FS-344 is a single-chain polypeptide of approximately 344 amino acids, featuring multiple cysteine-rich follistatin domains (FSD1–FSD3), each ~70 residues long, and an acidic C-terminal tail [1][4]. It is glycosylated in key regions and forms a ~38 kDa monomeric protein stabilized by numerous disulfide bonds [1][4].

What Are the Effects of Follistatin 344 (95%) (1mg)?

Myostatin Antagonism & Muscle Mass Increase:

In mouse and non-human primate studies, FS-344 significantly increased lean muscle mass and strength due to strong myostatin binding and inhibition [2][3][5]. 

Activin Modulation & Endocrine Interactions:

FS-344 binds activin A with lower affinity, reducing activin-mediated regulation of the pituitary activin-inhibin axis and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion [1][2]. 

Therapeutic Potential in Gene Therapy:

AAV-mediated delivery of FS-344 enhanced muscle function and mobility in Becker muscular dystrophy and inclusion-body myositis model trials, confirming translational preclinical utility [3][6]. 

TGF‑β Superfamily Regulation:

As a broader TGF‑β antagonist, FS-344 influences tissue regeneration, fibrosis control, and muscle homeostasis through multi-ligand interactions [1][3][4].
