The TGFβ superfamily's activins and inhibins are best recognized for controlling reproductive physiology. Diseases such as neurological problems and reproductive disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome and prostate and ovarian cancer are caused by imbalances in activins and inhibins.
For instance, Activin A, which is predominantly encoded by inhibin β A (INHBA), has garnered significant attention due to its involvement in inflammation and fibrosis pathways. The diverse functions of activins and inhibins underscore their potential as valuable targets for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of various diseases across a broad spectrum.
Sino Biological offers high-quality recombinant proteins and matching antibodies, including activins (such as INHBA, INHBB, and INHBE) and activin receptors (like ACVR2A and ACVR2B), with the objective of advancing the development of drugs that target activins and provide cutting-edge treatments for a range of illnesses.
