Definition
A protein hormone that plays roles in regulating growth, development, and reproductive processes in animals.
Etymology
From 'active' + '-in' (suffix for proteins and chemical compounds). Discovered in the 1980s and named for its role in activating various biological processes.
Kelly Says
Activin is one of those proteins that does SO many things—it helps embryos develop properly, regulates your hormones, and even influences behavior. Scientists love it because studying it reveals how seemingly simple proteins orchestrate complex biological systems.
