Shared alpha chain of the active heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones thyrotropin/thyroid stimulating hormone/TSH, lutropin/luteinizing hormone/LH and follitropin/follicle stimulating hormone/FSH. These hormones bind specific receptors on target cells that in turn activate downstream signaling pathways. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa25-120 from canine Glycoprotein hormones alpha chain, fused to 10X His-Tag at N-terminal and Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
