Premium CytoGrow™ growth factor suitable for stem cell and organoid culture, developmental biology, cell signaling, and tissue engineering research.

CytoGrow™ Recombinant Activin A (Bovine/Porcine), CHO, Tag Free

Recombinant Activin A is produced in CHO cells to ensure proper folding, native post-translational modifications, and full biological activity. Supplied in a tag-free format, this protein preserves its natural structure and function, enabling consistent and reliable performance across cell-based applications.

Activin A plays a key role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. It is widely involved in developmental processes, particularly in mesoderm and endoderm formation, as well as in maintaining pluripotency and directing lineage specification in stem cells.

This recombinant Activin A is commonly used in cell culture to support stem cell maintenance and differentiation, including the induction of definitive endoderm from pluripotent stem cells. It is also applied in developmental biology, reproductive biology, cancer research, and tissue engineering.
