STAT3 Partly Inhibits Cell Proliferation via Direct Negative Regulation of FST Gene Expression

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Follistatin (FST) is a secretory glycoprotein and belongs to the TGF-β superfamily. Previously, we found that two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of sheep FST gene were significantly associated with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep ...

Polymorphisms of FST gene and their association with wool quality traits in Chinese Merino sheep. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Follistatin (FST) is involved in hair follicle morphogenesis. However, its effects on hair traits are not clear. This study was designed to investigate the effects of FST gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on wool quality traits in Chinese Merino
