Follistatin-related Gene Protein/FLRG Inhibition of Activin A-induced Hemoglobin Expression and Neutralization by Mouse Follistatin-related Gene Protein/FLRG Antibody. Recombinant Mouse Follistatin-related Gene Protein/FLRG (Catalog # 1255-F3) inhibits Recombinant Human/Mouse/Rat Activin A (Catalog # 338-AC) induced hemoglobin expression in the K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the psuedoperoxidase assay. Inhibition of Recombinant Human/Mouse/Rat Activin A (7.5 ng/mL) activity elicited by Recombinant Mouse Follistatin-related Gene Protein/FLRG (0.1 µg/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Mouse Follistatin-related Gene Protein/FLRG Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1255). The ND50 is typically 3-12 µg/mL.

Background: Follistatin-related Gene Protein/FLRG
Follistatin-Related Gene Protein (FLRG), also known as follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3) is a glycoprotein belonging to the follistatin-module protein family. Mouse FLRG cDNA encodes a 256 amino acid (aa) residue protein with a putative 23 aa signal peptide, an N-terminal domain, two cysteine-rich follistatin-like domains (FS) and a C‑terminal acidic domain. Compared to follistatin, FLRG lacks the third FS domain found in follistatin. In addition, FLRG also lacks the heparin-binding domain found within the first amino-terminal FS domain of follistatin. Mouse and human FLRG share approximately 83% aa sequence homology. Like follistatin, FLRG has been shown to bind and inhibit the activities of TGF-beta family ligands including activin, BMP-2, -6, -7 and GDF-8/myostatin. While both FLRG and follistatin are located in a wide and overlapping range of adult and fetal tissue, their sites of peak expression differ: FLRG most highly in heart, lung, kidney, placenta and testis, while follistatin is highest in ovary and pituitary. The expression of FLRG is upregulated by TGF-beta and activin signaling through Smad proteins. Although FLRG is a secreted protein in many cell types, it has also been localized to the nuclear compartment in HeLa, 293 and CHO cells (1‑5).
