Human Recombinant GMP Grade Activin A.

Activin and Inhibin are members of the TGF-beta superfamily of cytokines and are involved in a wide range of biological processes including tissue morphogenesis and repair, fibrosis, inflammation, neural development, hematopoiesis, reproductive system function, and carcinogenesis. Activin A is strongly expressed in wounded skin, and overexpression of Activin A in epidermis of transgenic mice improves wound healing and enhances scar formation. Activin A also regulates the morphogenesis of branching organs such as the prostate, lung, and kidney. There is also evidence showed that lack of Activin A during development results in neural developmental defects.
