Active Recombinant Human INHBA protein

• Cat.No.: INHBA-267H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human INHBA was expressed in Insect cells.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Insect Cells
• Tag: Non
• Description: Activin A is a TGF beta family member that exhibits a wide range of biological activities including regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation, and promotion of neuronal survival. Elevated levels of Activin A in human colorectal tumors and in post-menopausal woman have been implicated in colorectal and breast cancers, respectively. The biological activities of Activin A can be neutralized by inhibins and by the diffusible TGF beta antagonist, Follistatin.
• Form: Lyophilized from 10 mM Citric Acid pH 3.0. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. Do not vortex.
• Bio-activity: The ED50 as determined by its ability to inhibit the proliferation of Mouse MPC-11 cells is 2 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 5 x 10^5 units/mg.
• Molecular Mass: 26 kDa
• AA Sequence: GLECDGKVNI CCKKQFFVSF KDIGWNDWII APSGYHANYC EGECPSHIAG TSGSSLSFHS TVINHYRMRG HSPFANLKSC CVPTKLRPMS MLYYDDGQNI IKKDIQNMIV EECGCS.
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per ug (1 EU/ug).
• Purity: >95% pure by SDS PAGE and HPLC
• Notes: Small volumes of Activin A recombinant protein may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice.
• Storage: Store at 4 centigrade until reconstitution. Following reconstitution aliquot and freeze at -20 centigrade for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
