Native Human CGA

• Cat.No.: CGA-8356H
• Product Overview: Native Human CGA was purified from Urine.

Specification

• Description: alpha hCG subunit is a native alpha. The alpha subunit is identical to that of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Levels of hCG are significantly increased during pregnancy and regularly monitored in blood. Assay are often used for the diagnosis and monitoring of tumors of the testis and of the ovary.
• Source: Urine
• Species: Human
• Form: Llyophilised from 30mM ammonium bicarbonate. May contain traces of buffer salts.
• Purity: Nominally >96% of total protein is αhCG
