Inhibins/activins are involved in regulating a number of diverse functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation, erythroid differentiation, insulin secretion, nerve cell survival, embryonic axial development or bone growth, depending on their subunit composition. Activin A is a homodimer of INHBA that plays a role in several essential biological processes including embryonic development, stem cell maintenance and differentiation, haematopoiesis, cell proliferation and tissue fibrosis. Signals through type I (such as ACVR1B or ACVR1C) and type II receptors (such as ACVR2A, ACVR2B or BMPR2) which, upon ligand binding, phosphorylate SMAD2 and SMAD3 intracellular signaling mediators that form a complex with SMAD4, translocate to the nucleus and modulate gene expression. Can also activate alternative non-canonical intracellular signaling pathways including the p38 MAPK, extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) and c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) to modulate cell migration and differentiation. Alternatively, promotes osteoblastic differentiation via ACVRL1-SMAD1/5/9 pathway. In addition, can engage the type I receptor ACVR1 to form an ACVR1-activin A-type II receptor non-signaling complex (NSC) that renders receptors unavailable for engagement with BMPs, hence resulting in an apparent inhibition of ACVR1-mediated BMP signaling. Inhibin A is a dimer of alpha/INHA and beta-A/INHBA that functions as a feedback regulator in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Inhibits the secretion of FSH from the anterior pituitary gland by acting on pituitary gonadotrope cells. Antagonizes activin A by binding to the proteoglycan, betaglycan, and forming a stable complex with and, thereby, sequestering type II activin receptors while excluding type I receptor.

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.

Activin A induces erythroid gene expressions and inhibits mitogenic cytokine-mediated K562 colony formation by activating p38 MAPK. Huang H.M., Chiou H.Y., Chang J.L. J. Cell. Biochem. 98:789-797 (2006)

The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
