Recombinant Human Activin RIIA Fc Chimera (CHO) Protein, CF Summary

Product Specifications

Purity
>95%, by SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and visualized by silver stain
Endotoxin Level
<0.01 EU per 1 μg of the protein by the LAL method.
Activity
Measured by its ability to inhibit Activin A-induced hemoglobin expression in K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells. Schwall, R.H. et al. (1991) Method Enzymol. 198:340.

Approximately 0.01-0.05 μg/mL of Recombinant Human (rh) Activin RIIA Fc Chimera will inhibit 50% of the biological response due to 3 ng/mL of rhActivin A.

Carrier Free

What does CF mean?

CF stands for Carrier Free (CF). We typically add Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as a carrier protein to our recombinant proteins. Adding a carrier protein enhances protein stability, increases shelf-life, and allows the recombinant protein to be stored at a more dilute concentration. The carrier free version does not contain BSA.

What formulation is right for me?

In general, we advise purchasing the recombinant protein with BSA for use in cell or tissue culture, or as an ELISA standard. In contrast, the carrier free protein is recommended for applications, in which the presence of BSA could interfere.

Background: Activin RIIA

Activin proteins are involved in a wide range of biological processes including mesoderm induction, neural cell differentiation, bone remodeling, hematopoiesis, the regulation of reproductive physiology, inflammation, and carcinogenesis (1 ‑ 3). They function through heteromeric complexes of type I and type II serine/threonine kinase receptors (2, 4). Dimeric ligands bind to a type II receptor, such as Activin Receptor IIA (ActRIIA), which then associates with a type I receptor to initiate signal transduction (4). ActRIIA mediates the pleiotropic effects of Activins and Inhibins as well as several members of the BMP and GDF families of TGF-beta like proteins (4). Mature human ActRIIA is a 70 kDa glycoprotein that consists of a 116 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD), a 26 aa transmembrane segment, and a 352 aa cytoplasmic region that includes the kinase domain and a PDZ-binding motif (5). Within the ECD, human ActRIIA shares 98% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat ActRIIA. Signaling through ActRIIA is modulated by its interaction with RGM-B/DRAGON, Cripto, Endoglin/CD105, TGF‑ beta  RIII/Betaglycan, or BAMBI (6 - 10). These interactions can enhance ligand‑induced signaling or interfere with signaling by preventing ActRIIA association with type I receptors (6 - 9). Activin‑induced responses can also be limited by the enhanced internalization of ActRIIA following its association with the cytoplasmic protein ARIP2 (11).
