Qkine Recombinant Human Activin AB Protein

Activins are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily, a group of proteins that play key roles in regulating cell growth, survival and differentiation. In vivo activins exist as homodimers or heterodimers, the activin heterodimer AB is widely expressed and biologically active with similar functions to the activin AA homodimer. Qkine recombinant activin AB is a bioactive 25.7 kDa heterodimer, animal origin-free, tag free and carrier free for improved reproducibility.
