Background
Activin A, a member of the TGF-β superfamily, was named for its ability to activate FSH secretion from the anterior pituitary gland (PMID 16885530). Three activins have been identified in human tissues: activin A, activin B, and activinAB, of which activin A is the most studied. Activin A has various functions in regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and carcinogenesis (PMID 8200957). Xeno-free Recombinant Human Activin A is expressed from human 293 cells as disulfide linked homodimers with molecular mass of 25 kDa.

Reviews
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
FH Ryszard (Verified Customer) (03-21-2025) | I was able to use this humankine Activin A to great succes to generate 3D tubular structures derived from iPS cells. The powder is easy to resuspend and seems stable at 4C for almost 2 weeks. I will check for Vascular markers at somepoint but looks very promising.
