Inhibin beta A chain, Activin beta-A chain, Erythroid differentiation protein

Measure by its ability to induce hemoglobin expression in K562 cells.
The ED50 for this effect is <0.85 ng/mL.
The specific activity of recombinant human Activin A is approximately >1.4 x 103 IU/mg.

Activin is the member of the TGF beta superfamily of cytokines. The current understanding of Activin A is classified as a hormone, a growth factor, and a cytokine. Depending on the different cell type, that overexpression of Activin A can either inhibit or promote cells division. There are important implications for tumor biology. Activin A also increase joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and induces pathogenic mechanisms in the respiratory system.

The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 0.1% sarkosyl in 1X PBS, pH 8.0.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 μg/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Blue Ice

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20°C for 1 year.
Upon reconstitution, store at 2°C to 8°C for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1%
BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20°C or -80°C for 3-6 months.
