Activin-A Human, HEK-Active

Activins are homodimers or heterodimers of the different β subunit isoforms, part of the TGFβ family. Mature Activin A has two 116 amino acids residues βA subunits (βA-βA). Activin displays an extensive variety of biological activities, including mesoderm induction, neural cell differentiation, bone remodelling, haematopoiesis, and reproductive physiology. Activins takes part in the production and regulation of hormones such as FSH, LH, GnRH and ACTH. Cells that are identified to express Activin A include fibroblasts, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, macrophages, keratinocytes, osteoclasts, bone marrow monocytes, prostatic epithelium, neurons, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, Leydig cells, Sertoli cells, and ovarian granulosa cells.

Products specifications

Expression host	HEK.
Purity	Greater than 95% as obsereved by SDS-PAGE.
Formulation	The Activin-A was lyophilized from 1mg/ml in 1xPBS.
Solubility	It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Activin-A in sterile water not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Synonyms	Inhba, Inhibin beta A, FSH releasing protein.
Stability	Lyophilized Activin-A although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Activin-A should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Physical Appearence	Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Biological Activity	The specific activity was determined by the dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation of the MPC-11 cell line (mouse plasmocytoma cell line) and is typically 0.5-5ng/ml.
