Molecular model showing the secondary structure of an activin A dimer. Activin A has numerous growth stimulating roles throughout the body. It has an effect on the development of a number of organs and plays a role in the regulation of tissue repair, metabolism, the menstrual cycle and the immune system. It has been shown that activin A inhibits the activity of natural killer immune cells against cancerous tumours.
