A portion of amino acids 137-165 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this Choriogonadotropin beta antibody.
Choriogonadotropin beta, also known as beta-hCG, is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It plays a key role in maintaining the pregnancy and supporting the development of the fetus. Beta-hCG levels can be detected in a womans blood or urine as early as 11 days after conception, making it a valuable marker for pregnancy testing. It also has other important functions, such as stimulating the production of progesterone, a hormone that helps maintain the uterine lining and support the developing fetus. In addition, beta-hCG also plays a role in preventing the breakdown of the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine structure that produces progesterone during early pregnancy.
