Description

Follistatin Antibody / FS288 Isoform Antibody (clone FST/4282) is a mouse monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes the FS288 isoform of follistatin (FST), a secreted glycoprotein that functions as a potent extracellular antagonist of activins and selected members of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily. The FS288 isoform exhibits high affinity for cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans, allowing localized regulation of activin signaling within tissues. This cell-associated distribution distinguishes FS288 from other follistatin isoforms and makes it particularly valuable for investigations of tissue-specific growth factor regulation. Follistatin Antibody / FS288 Isoform Antibody is well suited for studies of developmental biology, muscle physiology, and transforming growth factor beta signaling.

Follistatin regulates numerous biological processes by binding activins and additional transforming growth factor beta family ligands, thereby limiting receptor activation and downstream signaling. Through these interactions, follistatin influences embryonic development, tissue differentiation, skeletal muscle growth, reproductive biology, wound healing, and stem cell function. The FS288 isoform remains closely associated with cell surfaces and extracellular matrices, providing highly localized control of signaling events that regulate cellular proliferation, differentiation, and tissue homeostasis.

Altered follistatin expression has been associated with muscle wasting disorders, fibrosis, infertility, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, and multiple forms of cancer. Because FS288 displays unique tissue localization and biological properties compared with circulating follistatin isoforms, isoform-specific detection can provide valuable insight into localized transforming growth factor beta pathway regulation. Clone FST/4282 is also suitable for use as a matched antibody in ELISA assays when paired with clone FST/4281, enabling complementary quantitative analysis of follistatin in research applications.

NSJ Bioreagents' Follistatin Antibody / FS288 Isoform Antibody (clone FST/4282) is a mouse monoclonal antibody developed for specific detection of the FS288 follistatin isoform. This antibody supports investigations into activin signaling, skeletal muscle biology, developmental mechanisms, tissue regeneration, and extracellular growth factor regulation while providing researchers with an isoform-selective tool for advanced follistatin research.
