Overview

Follistatin-344, also known as FST-344, is a naturally occurring protein that belongs to the follistatin family, primarily recognized for its ability to bind and inhibit members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily, particularly myostatin. Myostatin is a protein that normally limits muscle growth; by inhibiting myostatin, FST-344 may promote increased muscle mass and strength. This peptide is a synthetic version of the human follistatin protein, specifically a splice variant that contains 344 amino acids. Research into Follistatin-344 aims to understand its potential therapeutic applications in conditions characterized by muscle wasting, such as muscular dystrophy and sarcopenia, and its possible use in enhancing athletic performance.
