  4. Activin/Inhibins

The activins and inhibins are among the 33 members of the TGF-β family and were first described as regulators of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion and erythropoiesis. The activins were originally recognized for their abilities to augment the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-mediated release of FSH, and were named “activins” because their effects were functionally opposite to those of inhibin in this context. Inhibins and activins share common β subunits, with inhibins occurring as αβ heterodimers, whereas activins are ββ homodimers. Because inhibins were discovered and isolated before activins, the β monomers are designated inhibins βA and βB, and the genes are Inhba and Inhbb, respectively[1].

  • HY-P70311
    Activin A Protein, Human/Mouse/Rat (HEK293)

    rHuActivin A; Inhibin beta A chain; INHBA; Activin A

    Human HEK293
    Activin A, a multifunctional cytokine, is a member of TGF-β superfamily. Activin A first binds to the type II activin receptors (ActIIRA or ActRIIB) on the member surface, and then recruits and phosphorylates type I activin receptors (ActRI). Activin A primarily signal through SMAD2/3 proteins to regulate a variety of functions, including inflammation, fibrosis, and tumorigenesis. Activin A Protein, Human/Mouse/Rat (HEK293) is produced in HEK293 cells, and consists of 117 amino acids (G310-S426).

    INHA; Inhibin alpha chain

    Bovine E. coli
  • HY-P700013AF
    Animal-Free Activin B Protein, Human (His)

    Activin Beta B; INHBB; inhibin beta B chain

    Human E. coli
    Activin B, a TGFβ superfamily cytokine, is a homodimer of activin βB subunits. Activin B binds to type II transmembrane serine-threonine kinase receptors (ACTRIIA or ACTRIIB) which, in turn, activate type I receptors (ACTRI) that phosphorylate and activate canonical SMAD signaling pathways. Animal-Free Activin B Protein, Human (His), a recombinant animal-free protein, is produced in E. coli with a C-Terminal His-tag. It consists of 115 amino acids (G293-407A).
