hCG (CGA) (alpha 3 epitope) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: INN-hCG-5]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	INN-hCG-5
Applications	IHC, R
Recommend Dilution	Immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin sections. Radioimmunoassay.
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	hCG. Spleen cells of BALB/c mice fused with the mouse myeloma cell line P3 - NS1 - Ag4.1.
Specificity	This antibody recognises an epitope on the alpha subunits of all glycoprotein hormones. Indirect Immunofluorescence analysis on paraffin sections of human pituitaries reveals clear staining of glycoprotein hormone producing cells. Reacts with human LH, FSH, TSH, and hCG.

Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	glycoprotein hormones, alpha polypeptide
Database Link	Entrez Gene 1081 Human UniProt ID P01215
Background	The four human glycoprotein hormones chorionic gonadotropin (CG), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) are dimers consisting of alpha and beta subunits that are associated noncovalently. The alpha subunits of these hormones are identical, however, their beta chains are unique and confer biological specificity. The protein encoded by this gene is the alpha subunit and belongs to the glycoprotein hormones alpha chain family.
Synonyms	Follitropin alpha chain, Follicle-stimulating hormone alpha chain, FSH-alpha, Lutropin alpha chain, Luteinizing hormone alpha chain, LSH-alpha, LH alpha, Thyrotropin alpha chain, Thyroid-stimulating hormone alpha chain, TSH-alpha, Choriogonadotropin alpha chain, Chorionic gonadotrophin subunit alpha, hCG-alpha
