  • Assay
    SDS-PAGE
  • Purity
    ≥90%
  • Biological activity
    The activity is determined by the dose-dependent neutralization of 7.5 ng/mL human Activin A. Complete neutralization is typically reached at less than 0.3 ug/mL.

    -20°C
  • Shipping
    Gel pack
  • Shelf Life
    12 months
  • Appearance
    Lyophilized protein
  • Physical form description
    Recombinant mouse Follistatin is lyophilized from 10 mM Na2PO4 + 50 mM NaCl, pH 7.5.
  • Reconstitution Instructions
    Centrifuge vial before opening. When reconstituting the product, gently pipet and wash down the sides of the vial to ensure full recovery of the protein into solution. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized product with sterile water at a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL, which can be further diluted into other aqueous solutions.
  • Background Information
    Follistatin is an autocrine acting protein that is expressed by many tissues, but at noteably higher levels in the ovary and skin. Follistatin functions to negatively regulate the signaling of a wide variety of TGF-beta family members (activin, BMPs, myostatin, GDF-11 and TGF-beta 1). Mechanistically, follistatin works as an antagonist by complexing with TGF-beta family members to prevent them from interacting with their signaling receptors. Recombinant mouse follistatin is a nonglycosylated protein, containing 289 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 31.6 kDa.

  • Usage
    For Research Use Only! Not to be used in humans
  • Test
    Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.
