Chicken Follistatin (FST) ELISA Kit

This sandwich ELISA kit from Assay Genie is designed for the quantitative measurement of Follistatin (FST) in chicken samples, recognising both natural and recombinant chicken Follistatin. It is intended for use with serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernatants and other biological fluids.

The assay reports a detection range of 78-5000pg/mL and a sensitivity of 38pg/mL, with absorbance read on a microplate reader set to 450 nm. Follistatin (UniProt Q90844) is a secreted monomeric protein of 38,193 Da that functions as an activin antagonist and acts as a specific inhibitor of the biosynthesis and secretion of pituitary follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). The source data also describes it as inhibiting activin A signaling in the iris and regulating the somatostatin phenotype in ciliary ganglion neurons.

Classified within the Signal Transduction research area, the kit is for research use only.
