Fst - follistatin

Enables heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding activity. Predicted to be involved in hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; keratinocyte proliferation; and positive regulation of hair follicle development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in polycystic ovary syndrome. Orthologous to human FST (follistatin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
