Activins and Activin Receptors in Cell Growth
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1997 Activin and inhibin, members of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) superfamily, have diverse and widespread effects within living organisms at many stages during growth and development. From the initial isolation of these growth factors based on their effects of FSH secretion, the study of these factors, as well as of the activin-binding protein

PLoS ONE, 2021 Inhibins and activins are dimeric ligands belonging to the TGFβ superfamily with emergent roles in cancer. Inhibins contain an α-subunit (INHA) and a β-subunit (either INHBA or INHBB), while activins are mainly homodimers of either βA (INHBA) or βB ...

Generation of a Specific Activin Antagonist by Modification of the Activin A Propeptide [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2011 Elevated activin A levels in inhibin-deficient mice promote the development of gonadal tumors and induce cachexia by reducing muscle, liver, stomach, and fat mass. Because activin A is an important regulator of tissue growth, inhibiting the actions of this TGFβ family ligand may halt or reverse pathology in diseased tissues.

Activins as Regulators of Branching Morphogenesis [PDF]
, 2001 Development of glandular organs such as the kidney, lung, and prostate involves the process of branching morphogenesis. The developing organ begins as an epithelial bud that invades the surrounding mesenchyme, projecting dividing epithelial cords or ...

Activin-A: active in inflammation in COPD [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2014 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by irreversible airflow limitation in which chronic inflammation of the airways plays a major role. The persistent inflammation is triggered by inhaled toxic substances, such as cigarette smoke.
