Two molecules of FSTL3 bind an Activin dimer (Sidis et al. 2002, Stamler et al. 2008). FSTL3 has been experimentally shown to bind Activin A and Activin B (Schneyer et al. 2003). Binding of FSTL3 to Activin AB is inferred. A portion of FSTL3 is also located in the nucleus (Tortoriello et al. 2001), however FSTL3:Activin complexes have not been demonstrated in the nucleus.
