Follistatin also known as activin-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FST gene.
Follistatin is an autocrine glycoprotein that is expressed in nearly all tissues of higher animals.
It is a single-chain gonadal protein that specifically inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone release.
The single FST gene encodes two isoforms, FST317 and FST344 containing 317aa and 344aa respectively, resulting from alternative splicing of the precursor mRNA.
In a study in which 37 candidate genes were tested for linkage and association with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hyperandrogenemia in 150 families, evidence was found for linkage between PCOS and follistatin.
