DATA Recombinant Human Activin A (CHO derived) Protein SDS-PAGE. 2 gg/lane of Recombinant Human Activin A (CHO derived) Protein (Catalog # 11348-AC) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and nonreducing (NR) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing bands at 13 and 24 kDa respectively.

Recombinant Human Activin A (CHO derived) Catalog Number: 11348-AC BACKGROUND Activin and Inhibin are members of the TGF-β 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 (1-7). Activin and Inhibin are produced as precursor proteins. Their amino terminal propeptides are proteolytically cleaved and facilitate formation of disulfide-linked dimers of the bioactive proteins (8, 9). Activins are nonglycosylated homodimers...
