Recombinant Human PLOD1 therapeutic protein

• Cat.No.: LH-P015H
• Product Overview: The therapeutic protein is a recombinant human luteinizing hormone produced in yeast with 2 subunits, alpha = 92 residues, beta = 121 residues. It is a heterodimeric glycoprotein. Each monomeric unit is a glycoprotein molecule. In females, an acute rise of LH ("LH surge") triggers ovulation and the development of the corpus luteum. In males, it stimulates Leydig cell production of testosterone. It was the first and only recombinant human form of luteinizing hormone (LH) developed for use in the stimulation of follicular development.

Specification

• Description: This gene is a member of the LHB family and encodes the beta subunit of luteinizing hormone (LH). LHB is heterodimers consisting of a common alpha subunit and an unique beta subunit which confers biological specificity. LHB is expressed in the pituitary gland and promotes spermatogenesis and ovulation by stimulating the testes and ovaries to synthesize steroids. The genes for the beta chains of chorionic gonadotropin and for luteinizing hormone are contiguous on chromosome 19q13.3. Mutations in this gene are associated with hypogonadism which is characterized by infertility and pseudohermaphroditism. The expression product is the active ingredient of Luveris.
