Recombinant Human Inhibin, Alpha, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: INHA-302H
• Product Overview: Inhibin-Alpha Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 264 amino acids comprising of both A and B chains, having a molecular mass of 33.5 kDa. The Inhibin-Alpha is fused with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. The Inhibin-Alpha is purified by standard chromatographic techniques.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Human
• Tag: His
• Description: 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 fetal development.
• Form: Inhibin-A alpha chain is supplied in 1x PBS and 50% glycerol.
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
• Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered clear solution.
• Storage: Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. Please avoid freeze thaw cycles.
