Background
HumanKine Activin A is a high-quality, animal-free recombinant human protein widely used in stem cell research, cell culture, and signaling pathway studies. Produced in HEK293 cells, it is designed to deliver exceptional purity, strong bioactivity, and low endotoxin levels for consistent experimental performance. HumanKine Activin A supports applications such as stem cell differentiation, tissue development, regenerative medicine research, and advanced biological assay development. Activin A is a dimeric growth factor within the TGF-β superfamily that engages specific type II and type I receptors to initiate SMAD2/3 signaling cascades and downstream transcriptional regulation. Functionally, Activin A is a key regulator of pluripotent stem cell maintenance and a potent inducer of definitive endoderm formation Its reliable human-like glycosylation profile makes it a preferred choice for researchers seeking reproducible results in sensitive cell-based workflows.(PMID 16885530, 8200957)
