During embryonic development, Activin A is involved in patterning and differentiation of various tissues and organs. It helps regulate processes such as mesoderm induction, neural differentiation, and organogenesis. Activin A is involved in the regulation of reproductive processes such as follicle development in the ovaries, spermatogenesis in the testes, and embryonic implantation in the uterus. It also plays a role in the secretion of hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. Activin A has immunomodulatory effects, influencing the function of immune cells such as macrophages, T cells, and B cells. Activin A participates in the regulation of bone metabolism by influencing the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. During tissue repair, Activin A is upregulated and promotes growth of keratinocytes and stromal cells. Activin A is a homodimer consisting of two betaA subunits.\nActivin A signaling takes places through binding to a Type II receptor (Activin RIIA\/ACVR2A or Activin RIIB\/ACVR2B) followed by heterodimerization with a Type I receptor unit (Activin RIB\/ACVR1B\/ALK-4 or Activin RIC\/ACVR1C\/ALK-7). Regulation of Activin A occurs by binding to inhibitory proteins (Follistatin and FLRG) or membrane-bound decoy receptors (BAMBI and Cripto).\n\nActivin A is used in cell culture to maintain pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and to differentiate human ESCs into endoderm. Similarly, Activin A is used for the maintenance and growth of 3-D organoids.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTissue Specificity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003eActivin A expression has been reported in adipose tissue, ovaries, testes, uterus, pituitary gland, placenta, prostate, lung, kidney, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellular Localization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003eSecreted protein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 30%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 30%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInvolvement In Disease\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 70%;\"\u003eDysregulation of Activin A has been associated with osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), asthma, obesity, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cancers (prostate, breast, ovarian, and colorectal).\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Beta LifeScience","offers":[{"title":"100ug","offer_id":48253310533857,"sku":"BEP-0047UL","price":974.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.betalifesci.com\/products\/recombinant-human-mouse-rat-activin-a-protein-active-low-endo-bep-0047ul","provider":"Beta LifeScience","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
