Follistatin-Related Protein (FSRP): A New Member of the Follistatin Gene Family
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2001The identification and characterization of follistatin related protein (FSRP) suggests that the follistatin (FS) gene family may actually contain two sub-families. The first includes FS and FSRP by virtue of their high degree of structural homology and comparable activin-binding activity, while the second sub-family contains extracellular matrix ...

Follistatin: A Multifunctional Regulatory Protein
Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 1998Follistatin was first described in 1987 as a follicle-stimulating hormone inhibiting substance present in ovarian follicular fluid. We now know that this effect of follistatin is only one of its many properties in a number of reproductive and nonreproductive systems.

Follistatin Complexes Myostatin and Antagonises Myostatin-Mediated Inhibition of Myogenesis
Developmental Biology, 2004 Follistatin is known to antagonise the function of several members of the TGF-beta family of secreted signalling factors, including Myostatin, the most powerful inhibitor of muscle growth characterised to date. In this study, we compare the expression of

Inhibins, activins and follistatins
Journal of Steroid Biochemistry, 1989Inhibins are proteins consisting of two subunits, 18 K alpha- and 14 K beta-subunits, linked by disulfide bonds. Two forms of inhibins A and B consisting of a common alpha-subunit and a similar but distinguishable beta-subunit specifically suppress the secretion and cell content of FSH in a delayed action.

Activin A and follistatin in systemic inflammation
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2004Inflammation is a complex process regulated by a cascade of cytokines and growth factors. This review summarizes the emerging evidence implicating activin A and follistatin in the inflammatory process. Our recent studies have highlighted that activin A is released early in the process as part of the circulatory cytokine cascade during acute systemic ...

Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, 2012
Mechanical competence of bones is mainly associated with tissue quality that depends on proper bone metabolism processes. An imbalance in the regulation of bone metabolism leads to pathological changes in bone tissue leading to susceptibility to bone fractures and bone deterioration processes.

Identification of Activin A and Follistatin in Human Milk
Growth Factors, 2002Activin A is a dimeric protein member of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) family: it is synthesized by a variety of organs and follistatin is an activin-binding protein. A sensitive and specific assays for bioactive dimeric activin A and follistatin have recently allowed to measure these proteins in blood and other biological fluids ...

Follistatin/activin-binding protein
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 1992Follistatin, or follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) suppressing protein, is a protein isolated from side fractions in the purification of inhibin and activin, which shares with inhibin the property of suppressing the secretion of FSH from the pituitary gonadotroph. This protein is structurally distinct from inhibin.

[Ovine Follistatin gene expression and functional analysis of follistatin domains].
Sheng wu gong cheng xue bao = Chinese journal of biotechnology, 2011In order to study ovine follistatin function, we amplified the total of 1038 base pair of ovine complete follistatin cDNA and cloned into pGEM-T vector by RT-PCR from ovine ovary RNA. After removal of the signal peptide it was subcloned into the pET41a to construct the prokaryotic expression vector, named pFSsig-.
