Human Activin A, Tag Free, CHO
Activin and Inhibin are members of the TGF-beta superfamily of cytokines and are involved in a wide range of biological processes including tissue morphogenesis and repair, fibrosis, inflammation, neural development, hematopoiesis, reproductive system function, and carcinogenesis. Activin is strongly expressed in wounded skin, and overexpression of activin in epidermis of transgenic mice improves wound healing and enhances scar formation. Activin also regulates the morphogenesis of branching organs such as the prostate, lung, and kidney. There is also evidence showed that lack of activin during development results in neural developmental defects.
Sequence:

UnitProt ID:
P08476
Species of Origin:
Human
Expression System:
CHO
Endotoxin Test:
<0.1 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity:
Measure by its ability to inhibit the proliferation of mouse MPC-11 cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is <10 ng/mL.
Purity:
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Form:
Lyophilized
Storage Buffer:
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm-filtered solution containing 100 mM Glycine, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.01% Tween 80, pH 4.0
Reconstitution:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 200 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.
Stability & Storage:
This product is stable after storage at:
• -20°C for 12 months in lyophilized state from date of receipt.
• -20°C or -80°C for 1 month under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Shipping Conditions:
Blue ice
