Activin B human Recombinant produced in Nicotiana benthamiana plant is a beta-B single chain (aa 293-406) containing 123 amino acids (molecular formula C615H910N178O177S12). Activin B is fused to a 10-His-tag at the N-terminal having the total molecular mass of 14kDa and purified by standard chromatographic techniques.
Inhibins are dimeric peptide hormones produced by female ovarian granulose cells and male Sertoli cells as well as a variety of other tissues. Inhibins have two isoforms, A and B, with the same alpha subunit but different beta subunits. Inhibin A is a dimer of alpha and beta A subunits, inhibin B is a dimer of alpha and beta B subunits.Inhibins are thought to inhibit the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by the pituitary gland. In addition, Inhibins are also thought to play a role in the control of gametogenesis, and embryonic and fetal development.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Activin B in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
