Recombinant protein corresponding to Ala25-Ser116 from human CGA, expressed in NS0 cells.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, alpha chain(CGA) is a 92 aa glycopeptide that functions as the shared alpha subunit of the heterodimeric peptide hormones choriogonadotropin, leutinizing hormone, thryoid stimulating hormone, and follicle stimulating hormone. CGA circulates as a free molecule and in noncovalent complexes with the unique beta subunits of those hormones. CGA is secreted by the pituitary and placenta. Mature human CGA shares 69%-73% aa sequence identity with canine, equine, feline, mouse, porcine, and rat CGA. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 1-2ug/ml Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 25ug/ml ELISA: 0.5-1ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. 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.
