Entrez ID 10468
Gene name Follistatin
Gene symbol FST
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
FS
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5q11.2
Summary Follistatin is a single-chain gonadal protein that specifically inhibits follicle-stimulating hormone release. The single FST gene encodes two isoforms, FST317 and FST344 containing 317 and 344 amino acids respectively, resulting from alternative splicin
