分子别名(Synonym)
Activin A,INHBA
表达区间及表达系统(Source)
Human Activin A Protein, Tag Free (ACA-H421b) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Gly 311 - Ser 426 (Accession # AAH07858.1).
Predicted N-terminus: Gly 311
蛋白结构(Molecular Characterization)
This protein carries no "tag".
The protein has a calculated MW of 13.0 kDa. The protein migrates as 14-15 kDa under reducing (R) condition, and 23-25 kDa under non-reducing (NR) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.
内毒素(Endotoxin)
Less than 0.1 EU per μg by the LAL method.
无菌(Sterility)
Negative
支原体(Mycoplasma)
Negative.
纯度(Purity)
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
制剂(Formulation)
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in 0.056% TFA in 30% ACN with trehalose as protectant.

背景(Background)
Activin and inhibin are two closely related protein complexes that have almost directly opposite biological effects. Activin enhances FSH biosynthesis and secretion, and participates in the regulation of the menstrual cycle. Many other functions have been found to be exerted by activin, including roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, homeostasis, immune response, wound repair, and endocrine function. Conversely inhibin down regulates FSH synthesis and inhibits FSH secretion.Activins are nonglycosylated homodimers or heterodimers of various β subunits (βA, βB, βC, and βE in mammals), while Inhibins are heterodimers of a unique α subunit and one of the β subunits. Activin A is a widely expressed homodimer of two βA chains. The βA subunit can also heterodimerize with a βB or βC subunit to form Activin AB and Activin AC, respectively. The 14 kDa mature human βA chain shares 100% amino acid sequence identity with bovine, feline, mouse, porcine, and rat βA.
