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.
