Folistatin 315

Folistatin, also called activin-binding protein, is found in nearly all tissues of vertebrate animals. Its primary function is to neutralize members of the TGF-β family, which play fundamental roles in everything from growth and development to energy homeostasis and immune system regulation. In particular, follistatin interacts with activin, which plays an important part in cell proliferation and cell death as well as in the immune response as it applies to wound repair.

Folistatin 344 in 315 are engineered analogues of naturally occurring follistatin. Both are created by alternative splicing of the follistatin mRNA transcript. Scientific research in non-human primates as well as in mice have indicated that both molecules are capable of improving muscle growth by antagonizing myostatin (a member of the TGF-β family).

Folistatin je fascinanten protein, ki lahko z zatiranjem miostatina poveča mišično maso nad naravni potencial. Znanstveniki so prvič identificirali folistatin med preučevanjem prašičev (re: prašič) folikularna tekočina v jajčnikih.

Folistatin se naravno nahaja v skeletnih mišicah skoraj vseh sesalcev z napredovalimi ali razvitimi lastnostmi, kot so ljudje, glodalci, in krave. Folistatin vsebuje veliko neesencialne aminokisline cistin, vendar za razliko od večine beljakovin, o katerih razpravljajo v svetu fitnesa., follistatin vsebuje ogljikove hidrate.
