Human/Mouse/Rat Activin A Protein

Activin A, a member of TGF-β superfamily, is a disulfide-linked dimer protein, which was originally purified from gonadal fluid as protein to stimulate the release of pituitary follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) . Inhibins are involved in regulating many different functions, such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation, erythrocyte differentiation, insulin secretion, nerve cell survival, embryonic axial development or bone growth, depending on their subunit composition. Many studies have shown that it can play a significant role in inducing islet β cell differentiation under the combined action of other factors. The recombinant Human Activin A has sequence identity with Mouse and Rat Activin A protein.

Suggested applications of our products are not recommendations to use our products in violation of any patent or as a license. We cannot be responsible for patent infringements or other violations that may occur with the use of this product.

Lyophilized Human/Mouse/Rat Activin A protein product should be stored desiccated below -20°C. Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Always centrifuge tubes before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Human/Mouse/Rat-Activin A protein using the buffer we provided not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
