Activin A, a homodimer of activin βA subunits, is a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β super-family. Activin A is produced by the placenta during human pregnancy, has been recognized as a multifunctional cytokine expressed in a wide range of tissues and cells with roles in regulation of wound repair, cell differentiation, apoptosis, embryogenesis, and inflammation.
