Bioassay Technology Laboratory's Inhibin Alpha Monoclonal Antibody is a Mouse monoclonal antibody. It reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: EIA, Immunoassay, ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Western Blot.
Description
This gene encodes a member of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple peptide products, including the alpha subunit of the inhibin A and B protein complexes. These complexes negatively regulate follicle stimulating hormone secretion from the pituitary gland. Inhibins have also been implicated in regulating numerous cellular processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune response and hormone secretion. Mutations in this gene may be associated with male infertility and premature ovarian failure in female human patients
