Description
Activin A is a member of the Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β) family of proteins with a wide range of biological activities. Activins are produced in many tissue types including the skin, gonads, lungs, and pituitary gland. Activins interact with receptor type I and type II serine/threonine protein kinases, to activate SMAD signaling and regulate diverse cellular functions, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, wound healing, apoptosis, and metabolism. Activin A is a homodimer comprised of two activin β A chains. Human Activin A shares 100% amino acid sequence identity with mouse, rat, porcine, bovine, and feline Activin A proteins.Activity Assay
Human Activin A is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The activity is determined using MPC-11 cells and it is typically 1.6 - 3.1 ng/ml. In addition to the standard assay, the activity of this product has been verified in the lab of Dr Josué Mfopou Kunjom (VUB - Diabetes Research Centre) - by analysis of CXCR4 in definitive endoderm.AA Sequence
