We cloned human activin betaE subunit cDNA from a liver cDNA library using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The deduced amino acid sequence was 97 and 96% homologous to the mouse and… (More)
Activins, TGF-beta superfamily members, have multiple functions in a variety of cells and tissues. Additional activin beta subunit genes, betaC and betaE, have been identified in humans and rodents.… (More)
Activins, TGF-beta superfamily members, have multiple functions in a variety of cells and tissues. Recently, additional activin beta subunit genes, betaC and betaE, have been identified. To explore… (More)
To study the function of activin E, a TGF-beta superfamily member, in the regulation of affective behavior, we investigated the behavior of transgenic mice overexpressing activin E (TgActbetaE mice).… (More)
