folistatina

Definition:
Proteína ampliamente distribuida que se une directamente a las activinas. Funciona como antagonista de las activinas, inhibe la secreción de hormonas estimuladoras de los folículos, regula la diferenciación celular y desempeña una función importante en la embriogénesis. La folistatina es una cadena simple de polipéptidos glicosilados de aproximadamente 37-kDa y no es miembro de la familia de la inhibina. También se une a o neutraliza varios miembros de la familia beta del factor de crecimiento de transformación.
