Synthetic peptide, corresponding to amino acids 100-150 of Human Inhibin beta-C.
Conjugation:
Unconjugated
Alternative Names:
Inhibin beta C chain, Activin beta-C chain, INHBC
Inhibins and activins are involved in regulating a number of functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation, erythroid differentiation, insulin secretion, nerve cell survival, embryonic axial development or bone growth depending on their subunit composition. Activins oppose the funtions of inhibins. Inhibins are predominantly expressed in liver, uterus and ovary tissue, but also in benign prostatic hyperplasia. Inhibin A, a dimer of alpha and beta-A, and inhibin B, a dimer of alpha and beta-B, have been shown to inhibit the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone. Inhibin beta-C forms a homodimer and its expression is predominant in adult liver and in benign prostatic hyperplasia.
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
Form:
Rabbit IgG, 1mg/ml in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide, 50% glycerol, pH7.2
