Inhibin alpha A Chain

Alternative Names: Inhibin Alpha Chain, Inhibin-Alpha, A-Inhibin Subunit, INHA.

Inhibins are peptide hormones produced by ovarian granulose cells, Sertoli cells, and other tissues. There are two variations, A and B, with the same alpha subunit but different beta subunits. Inhibin A consists of alpha and beta A subunits, while inhibin B consists of alpha and beta B subunits. These hormones are believed to inhibit the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) by the pituitary gland. They are also involved in regulating gametogenesis, embryonic development, and fetal development.

Product Description

Recombinant Human Inhibin-Alpha A Chain is a protein molecule that belongs to the inhibin/activin family. This family of proteins plays a critical role in regulating various physiological processes, particularly in the reproductive system. With a molecular weight of approximately X kDa, Recombinant Human Inhibin-Alpha A Chain functions as a dimeric glycoprotein, composed of two subunits: alpha and beta. It acts by inhibiting the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the pituitary gland, thereby modulating the reproductive cycle. This recombinant protein is widely used in research and biotechnological applications for its ability to mimic the natural inhibin-α chain and study its impact on reproductive health and related disorders.

*For Research Use Only

Product Guarantee

If your product is within its expiration period, and has not performed according to expectations, fill out the sample return form. Return the unused sample frozen, with the auto generated packing slip to the address on the instructions. You will receive a full refund along with a replacement of the unused portion (inclusive of the failed test). Damages do not cover any additional costs incurred for failed experimentation. 

Storage Instruction

Reconstituted store at -20°C or -80°C.We recommend that single use aliquots are prepared to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Sample Prep Instruction

1. Thaw the vial on ice, spin briefly
2. Prepare single-use or stock aliquots. This stage will depend on your final application so please adapt as appropriate. All our proteins are supplied carrier protein-free. If compatible with your work and you are storing at lower concentrations (<50 ug/ml) adding carrier protein is highly advised (usually 1% w/v high purity BSA or equivalent – ensure all buffers are sterile-filtered).
3. Prepare single-use aliquots whenever possible to avoid freeze-thaw cycles which can damage the proteins and reduce bioactivity. Store aliquots at -70 °C (or -20 °C)
4. We recommend sterile filtering after dilution in media or the final working solution
