Validation Data Gallery

  • Purity of recombinant human Activin A was determined by SDS- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The protein was resolved in an SDS- polyacrylamide gel in reducing and non-reducing conditions and stained using Coomassie blue.

  • Recombinant human Activin A (HZ-1138) causes dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation in the Mouse plasmacytoma (MPC-11) cell line. Proliferation of the MPC-11 cell line was assessed using Promega CellTiter 96®. MPC-11 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of recombinant human Activin A for 72 hrs hours before addition of CellTiter96® reagent. The EC50 was determined using a 4-parameter non-linear regression model. The EC50 values range from 0.5-3.5 ng/ml.

  • Human induced pluripotent cells(iPSCs) were differentiated to definitive endoderm using HumanKine growth factors (Activin A- HZ-1138, bFGF-HZ-1285, BMP-4- HZ-1045, and Wnt3A-HZ-1296). The differentiation was confirmed by detection of expression of FOXA2(Red) and downregulation of pluripotency marker NANOG(yellow), in immunofluorescence

Stability and Reconstitution

Stability and Storage Lyophilized proteins are stable for 1 year from the date of receipt if stored between (-20°C) and (-80°C). Upon reconstitution we recommend that the solution can be stored at (4°C) for short term or at (-20°C) to (-80°C) for long term. Repeated freeze thaw cycles should be avoided with reconstituted products.
Reconstitution Briefly centrifuge the vial before opening. It is recommended to reconstitute the protein in sterile 1xPBS pH 7.4 containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant human serum albumin (HSA).

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.

Synonyms

Activin A, Activin beta A chain, EDF, FRP, INHBA, Inhibin beta A chain, inhibin, beta A
