Alternative Name |
Activin beta-B, Inhibin beta-2 |
Description |
Activin B is a TGF-beta family member that exerts a wide array of biological activities including regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, apoptosis and metabolism. Activins exist as homodimers or heterodimers of the four mammalian beta-subunit isoforms. Activin B is a homodimer of the beta-B subunit. Activin protein complexes are closely related to inhibins, which consist of one of the beta-subunits paired with a unique alpha-subunit. Activin B binds the ActRII receptor, which then associates with ActRI to initiate signaling. Activins and inhibins are expressed by various cell types and mediate opposing biological effects. |

Authenticity |
Verified by N-terminal and Mass Spectrometry analyses (when applicable). |
Bioactivity |
A specific activity of ≥ 5 x 105 units/mg corresponds to an ED50 of ≤ 2.0 ng/ml. This was determined by its ability to inhibit the proliferation of murine MPC-11 cells. |
Endotoxin Level |
Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/ug of protein (<1 EU/ug). |
Molecular Mass |
Human Activin B is a homodimer consisting of two beta-B subunits, each containing 115 amino acid residues. It has a molecular weight of 25.6 kDa. |
