		Technical Data
I0945-04C	Inhibin alpha Subunit, Recombinant, Human	10ug

Molecular Biology

Storage: -20°CShipping: Blue Ice

Recombinant Inhibin alpha subunit comprises a 134 amino acid fragment (233-366) corresponding to the mature Inhibin alpha subunit protein and is expressed in E. coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag.

Inhibins are dimeric peptide hormones produced by female ovarian granulose cells and male Sertoli cells as well as a variety of other tissues. Inhibins have two isoforms, A and B,
with the same alpha subunit but different beta subunits.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
