Inhibin Alpha Antibody recognizes inhibin subunit alpha (INHA), a secreted glycoprotein that serves as the alpha subunit of the inhibin hormones. INHA is a member of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily and combines with inhibin beta subunits to form biologically active heterodimers. Association with inhibin beta A produces inhibin A, while association with inhibin beta B produces inhibin B. These hormones participate in endocrine feedback mechanisms that regulate reproductive function.
Inhibin alpha is produced prominently by granulosa cells of the ovary and Sertoli cells of the testis. Inhibin A and inhibin B act as endocrine regulators of follicle-stimulating hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary, contributing to the regulation of follicular development, spermatogenesis, and reproductive hormone balance. INHA is synthesized as a precursor protein that undergoes proteolytic processing before mature inhibin complexes are formed and secreted.
INHA expression is also studied as a marker of differentiation in gonadal, endocrine, and steroidogenic cell populations. Inhibin alpha has particular research relevance in sex cord-stromal tumors, including granulosa cell tumors, as well as certain adrenal cortical neoplasms and other tumors displaying steroidogenic differentiation. Its characteristic expression profile makes INHA useful for investigating reproductive tissue development, endocrine biology, cellular lineage, and tumor-associated differentiation.
This INHA Polyclonal Antibody is a rabbit affinity-purified polyclonal generated against recombinant human INHA corresponding to amino acids 254-366. The polyclonal format provides a population of antibodies recognizing the immunizing region of inhibin alpha and offers a complementary approach to monoclonal reagents for studying INHA expression. NSJ Bioreagents supplies this antibody for research use only.
An Inhibin Alpha Antibody can be used to investigate INHA expression and its relationship to gonadal biology, reproductive physiology, endocrine signaling, cellular differentiation, and tumor biology.
For a recombinant monoclonal with complementary tissue and Western blot validation, see our INHA Antibody INHA/6598R / Inhibin Alpha Monoclonal Antibody page.
Optimal dilution of the Inhibin Alpha Antibody / INHA Polyclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human protein (amino acids E254-I366) was used as the immunogen for the Inhibin Alpha Antibody.
After reconstitution, the Inhibin Alpha Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
