-Activin A is a TGF-beta family member that exhibits a wide range of biological activities including regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation, and promotion of neuronal survival. Elevated levels of Activin A in human colorectal tumors and in post-menopausal woman have been implicated in colorectal and breast cancers, respectively. The biological activities of Activin A can be neutralized by inhibins and by the diffusible TGF-beta antagonist, Follistatin. This recombinant human Activin A is a 26 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer of two beta A chains, each containing 116 amino acid residues.

Bulk or larger sizes quoted on request
Source : Insect Cells
Formulation: The sterile filtered solution was lyophilized from 50 mM Citric
Acid, pH 3.0.
Purity : Greater than 95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses. Endotoxin level
is less than 0.1 ng per µg (1EU/µg).
Reconstitution:We recommend a quick spin followed by reconstitution in water to a concentration of 50 µg/ml (e.g., 5 µg/100µl) will yield a solution of 10 mM Citric Acid, pH 3.0. This solution can then be stored at room temperature or at 4 DEG C for 1 month. It is recommended that further dilutions be made in PBS containing 2 mg/ml albumin and stored at 20 DEG C.
Stability : The lyophilized protein is stable for a few weeks at room temperature, but best stored at 20C. Reconstituted Human Activin A should be stored in working aliquots at 20 DEG C. AVOID FREQUENT FREEZE THAW CYCLES.
Biological Activity : The ED50 as detemrined by the cytolysis of murine MPC-11 cells is <2ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of >500K units/mg
