Why model Fst
Fst, ortholog of human FST, encodes follistatin, a secreted glycoprotein built from an N-terminal domain and three follistatin domains that neutralizes TGF-beta superfamily ligands by wrapping two molecules of activin A in a ring that buries both type I and type II receptor interfaces, an irreversible steric block rather than competitive inhibition. The same architecture binds myostatin encoded by Mstn, GDF11, and several BMPs, and heparan sulfate affinity distinguishes the tissue-retained FST288 isoform from the circulating FST315 form generated by alternative splicing. Nulls die within hours of birth with growth retardation, taut skin, rib and palate defects, so conditional floxed alleles are mandatory for adult muscle, reproductive, or metabolic studies. Isoform-selective knockins are uniquely informative here because retention versus circulation determines whether inhibition is local or systemic, and overexpression or AAV delivery models test muscle hypertrophy directly. The related genes Fstl3 and Inhba-binding partners modulate the same ligand pool, so document them when scoring muscle mass or folliculogenesis endpoints.

About Fst Mouse Model Types
A Fst knockout mouse has the Fst gene permanently inactivated, enabling loss of function studies. A Fst conditional knockout (floxed) mouse carries loxP sites flanking a critical exon of Fst, allowing Cre recombinase dependent deletion in specific tissues or at specific timepoints. Fst knockin models carry a precisely inserted sequence at the Fst locus, useful for reporter, tag, or humanization studies.
