Follistatin also known as activin-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FSTgene.[1][2]Follistatin is an autocrineglycoprotein that is expressed in nearly all tissues of higher animals.
It was initially isolated from follicular fluid and was identified as a protein fraction that inhibited follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion from the anterior pituitary, and so was known as FSH-suppressing protein (FSP). Since then its primary function has been determined to be the binding and bioneutralization agent of members of the TGF-? superfamily, with primary focus on activin, a paracrine hormone (TGF-? member) which enhances secretion of FSH in the anterior pituitary.
