Identification and characterization of a novel heparan sulfate-binding domain in Activin A longest variants and implications for function.
Activins regulate numerous processes including inflammation and are synthesized as precursors consisting of a long N-terminal pro-region and a mature protein. Genomic human databases currently list three activin A (Act A) variants termed X1, X2 and X3. The X3 variant is the shortest, lacks N-termina...
