Follistatin: a multifunctional regulatory protein.

Frontiers in neuroendocrinology - 1 Oct 1998

Phillips D J, de Kretser D M

Abstract excerpt

Follistatin was first described in 1987 as a follicle-stimulating hormone inhibiting substance present in ovarian follicular fluid. We now know that this effect of follistatin is only one of its many properties in a number of reproductive and nonreproductive systems. A majority of these functions are facilitated through the affinity of follistatin for activin, where activin's effects are neutralized through its...
