Recombinant Human INHBA

• Cat.No.: INHBA-64H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human Inhibin Beta A was expressed in Yeast.

Specification

• Description: INHBA is a subunit of both activin and inhibin, two closely related glycoproteins with opposing biological effects.The inhibin beta A subunit joins the alpha subunit to form a pituitary FSH secretion inhibitor. Inhibin has been shown to regulate gonadal stromal cell proliferation negatively and to have tumor-suppressor activity. Serum levels of inhibin have been shown to reflect the size of granulosa-cell tumors and can therefore be used as a marker for primary as well as recurrent disease. Because expression in gonadal and various extragonadal tissues may vary severalfold in a tissue-specific fashion. The beta A subunit forms a homodimer, activin A, and also joins with a beta B subunit to form a heterodimer, activin AB, both of which stimulate FSH secretion.
