Scientific Background
Human Follistatin 288/FST Protein — also known as FS; FSActivin-binding protein; FST; Follistatin; follistatin isoform FST317 — Follistatin 288 is a secreted glycoprotein that was first identified as a follicle-stimulating hormone inhibiting substance in ovarian follicular fluid. Human follistatin 288 cDNA encodes a 317 amino acid (aa) protein with a 29aa signal sequence, and a 288 aa mature region.Follistatin shows the highest affinity for activins due to its extended configuration. Genetic deletion of follistatin in mice, or expression of only the Follistatin form, is perinatally lethal due to defects of lung, skin and musculoskeletal system. Follistatins also regulate hematopoietic stem cell adhesion to fibronectin
Research into Human Follistatin 288/FST Protein supports investigations in cellular signaling and fundamental cell biology, with implications for cell signaling pathways.
Product Description
HEK293 Mammalian CellsC-His
Produced in HEK293 Mammalian Cells, preserving native glycosylation patterns and supporting biological activity in cell-based assays.
The C-His enables single-step affinity purification and can also serve as a handle for direct detection using anti-tag antibodies without target-specific reagents.
Expression region: Gly30-Asn317.

This protein is produced in HEK293 mammalian cells. Mammalian expression preserves glycosylation and folding closest to the native protein, supporting biological activity in cell assays.
Purity: > 90% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE., confirmed by reducing SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin level: < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method., measured by LAL assay — critical for cell-based studies. Identity is verified by peptide mapping or N-terminal sequencing on request.
Yes — biological activity is confirmed per lot. Activity data: Not validated for activity. Run a titration in your own system to establish optimal working concentration before committing all samples.
Reconstitution: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.. Storage: Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80℃. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8℃ for 2-. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw — each cycle risks partial denaturation.
This protein is validated for ELISA, Functional Assay (In Vitro). It is commonly used as an ELISA standard, binding partner in SPR/BLI, or stimulant in cell-based functional assays. Validate performance in your specific format before use in critical experiments.
