  • Recombinant activin A precursor protein
    Patent number: 11401311
    Abstract: Provided is a recombinant activin A precursor protein that has human activin A activity. Also provided is a novel method for producing human activin A. The present invention pertains to a recombinant activin A precursor protein that includes a human mature activin A sequence and a non-human activin A prodomain, wherein said recombinant activin A precursor protein is not a naturally occurring activin A precursor protein. The present invention also pertains to a method for producing a human activin A using the aforesaid recombinant activin A precursor protein.
