Background | Activin and inhibin are two closely related protein complexes that have almost directly opposite biological effects. The activin and inhibin protein complexes are both dimeric in structure, and, in each complex, the two monomers are linked to one another by a single disulfide bond. Activin is composed of two beta subunits, betaA betaA (activin A), betaB betaB (activin B), or betaA betaB (activin AB). Inhibin is composed of an alpha and one of two beta subunits, betaA (inhibin A) or betaB (inhibin B). Activins are produced in many cell types and organs, such as gonads, pituitary gland, and placenta. In the ovarian follicle, activin increases FSH binding and FSH-induced aromatization. It participates in androgen synthesis enhancing LH action in the ovary and testis. In the male, activin enhances spermatogenesis. In addition, Activin plays a role in wound repair and skin morphogenesis. Activin is strongly expressed in wounded skin, and overexpression of activin in epidermis of transgenic mice improves wound healing and enhances scar formation. Activin also regulates the morphogenesis of branching organs such as the prostate, lung, and kidney. There is also evidence showed that lack of activin during development results in neural developmental defects. |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the pro form of mouse INHBA (NP_032406.1) (Met 1-Ser 424) was expressed, with a C-terminal His tag. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Ser 21 |
AA Sequence | Met 1-Ser 424 |
Molecular Weight | The secreted recombinant mouse INHBA comprises 415 a.a. and has a calculated molecular mass of 46.5 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of rmINHBA is approximately 18 & 43 kDa corresponding to the mature inhibin beta A chain and the pro domain respectively in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. |
Purity | >88% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | 1. Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA.2. Immobilized human ACVR2B at 10 ug/mL (100 ul/well) can bind biotinylated mouse INHBA-His, The EC50 of biotinylated mouse INHBA-His is 0.161 ug/mL.3. Immobilized mouse INHBA-his at 10 ug/mL (100 ul/well) can bind human Follistatin Protein, The EC50 of human Follistatin Protein is 0.39 ug/mL. |
