Human Inha, Recombinant Protein, Recombinant Protein, Each

Details:

Inhibin a (human) recombinant protein, rp-75632, from invitrogen.Inhibins are dimeric peptide hormones produced by female ovarian granulose cells and male sertoli cells as well as a variety of other tissues. Inhibins have two isoforms, a and b, with the same alpha subunit but different beta subunits. Inhibin a is a dimer of alpha and beta a subunits, inhibin b is a dimer of alpha and beta b subunits. Inhibins are thought to inhibit the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh) by the pituitary gland. In addition, inhibins are also thought to play a role in the control of gametogenesis, and embryonic and foetal development. Rp-75632 contains a purified 134 amino acid fragment (aa233-366) corresponding to the mature inhibin alpha subunit protein with an n-terminal hexahistidine tag. Rp-75632 may be used as a positive control in western blot assays. This protein has a molecular weight of ∽19.2 Kda.
