Function

Inhibins and activins inhibit and activate, respectively, the secretion of follitropin by the pituitary gland. Inhibins/activins are involved in regulating a number of diverse functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation, erythroid differentiation, insulin secretion, nerve cell survival, embryonic axial development or bone growth, depending on their subunit composition. Inhibins appear to oppose the functions of activins.

Biological function summary

Activin beta A chain plays an important role in the modulation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) regulation cellular growth and differentiation. It often functions as part of a complex with activin and inhibin proteins influencing reproductive hormone levels and participating in tissue repair and inflammation processes. Inhibin beta A forms activin A when paired with another inhibin beta A subunit or inhibin A when paired with an inhibin alpha subunit therefore contributing to the modulation of FSH-releasing protein activity.

Activity summary

Inhibin beta A also known as activin beta A chain and inhibin A is a protein with a significant role in the regulation of diverse physiological processes. This protein has a molecular mass of approximately 45 kDa and originates primarily from gonadal tissues but also from the placenta pituitary gland and other tissues. Inhibin beta A consists of several subunits that can dimerize to form both activins and inhibins depending on the pairing with other subunits like the alpha chain.

Pathways

Activin and inhibin proteins participate in the regulation of the TGF-beta signaling pathway which is essential for reproductive and developmental processes. In this context inhibin beta A interacts functionally with proteins such as follistatin and FSH-releasing protein which modulate pathways that influence follicle maturation and hormone secretion. The protein's role in these pathways highlights its importance in orchestrating hormonal responses and facilitating proper cellular communication within the endocrine system.

Associated diseases and disorders

Inhibin beta A becomes relevant in the context of reproductive health and oncology. Changes in its expression can associate with disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and certain cancers particularly ovarian cancer where it may alter hormonal regulation and tumor progression. Related proteins such as inhibin B and follistatin also play roles in these conditions further complicating the pathways and the potential development of therapeutic interventions that target inhibin beta A and its network of interactions.

    We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
    Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.
