Introduction to Follistatin 344
Follistatin 344 is a synthetic peptide derived from the naturally occurring protein follistatin. It is commonly used in scientific research to explore its role in muscle growth, tissue repair, and cellular regulation. The peptide functions by binding to and inhibiting members of the TGF-β (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily, particularly myostatin, which is known to suppress muscle development.
Research studies utilize Follistatin 344 to evaluate its potential impact on muscle hypertrophy, metabolic function, and recovery processes in preclinical models.
Key Research Areas
Follistatin 344 is being investigated for its biological activities, including:
Inhibition of Myostatin Activity – Promoting muscle cell growth and reducing muscle breakdown.
Enhancement of Muscle Mass – Studied for its ability to induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy in animal models.
Tissue Repair and Regeneration – Potential applications in recovery from injury and age-related muscle loss.
Exploration of Metabolic Effects – Evaluating its role in metabolic regulation and insulin sensitivity.
