| Structural Info | |||||
| Formulation | Lyophilized in sterile filtered solution of PBS. | ||||
| Reconstitution | Before reconstitution, abrief spin is recommend to drive down any material dislodged from the bottom ofthe tube. The lyophilized protein shouldbe reconstituted in sterile H2O to a desired concentration. | ||||
| Stability | The lyophilized protein isstable for at least one year if stored at -80 °C. Reconstituted protein is stable for at least fourweeks at 4 °C, but should be stored in aliquots at -80 °C forlonger term. Avoidrepeated freeze and thaw. | ||||
| Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis | ||||
| Biological Activity | The activity was determined by using a SMAD reporter gene assay in cultured human cells.The IC50 ranges from 100 - 500 ng/ml in the inhibition of 1 ng/mL Activin A activity. | ||||

Follistatin like 3 is a homolog of Follistatinwhich is a secreted protein that binds to some members of the TGF-β family and blockstheir access to corresponding receptors. In addition to being a natural antagonist ofActivins, Follistatin like 3 mayinhibit the activity of other TGF-β ligands including BMPs, Myostatin, GDF-11,and TGF-β1. StemRD’s Follistatin like 3 Fc fusion protein is full-length human Follistain like 3 fused to theN-terminus of the Fc domain of human IgG1. This fusion allowsstabilization of the protein in vitro and in vivo and dimerization of therecombinant protein rendering high-affinity binding to Activins. Expression is in human 293 cells cultured inserum-free and protein-free medium. Purification of the fusion protein from culture medium is achieved byusing protein A chromatography.
