FST - follistatin Gene
Also Known as FS
Species: Homo sapiens
About FST
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 245 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Broad expression in liver (RPKM 13.6), placenta (RPKM 7.9) and 16 other tissues.
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 splicing of the precursor mRNA. In a study in which 37 candidate genes were tested for linkage and association with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hyperandrogenemia in 150 families, evidence was found for linkage between PCOS and Follistatin.
