Inhibin Alpha Chain Antibody INHA/9354 recognizes inhibin subunit alpha (INHA), a secreted glycoprotein that forms the alpha chain of the inhibin hormones. INHA belongs to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily and associates with distinct beta subunits to produce biologically active inhibins. Combination of the alpha chain with inhibin beta A forms inhibin A, while association with inhibin beta B forms inhibin B. These heterodimeric hormones function as important regulators of reproductive endocrine signaling.
Inhibin alpha is produced prominently by granulosa cells of the ovary and Sertoli cells of the testis. Inhibin A and inhibin B participate in negative feedback regulation of follicle-stimulating hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary, contributing to the control of follicular development, spermatogenesis, and reproductive hormone balance. INHA is initially synthesized as a precursor protein that undergoes proteolytic processing before formation and secretion of mature inhibin complexes.
Expression of the inhibin alpha chain is also studied as a marker of cellular differentiation in gonadal, endocrine, and steroidogenic tissues. INHA is associated with sex cord-stromal tumors, including granulosa cell tumors, and is also studied in certain adrenal cortical and other neoplasms showing steroidogenic differentiation. These expression patterns make inhibin alpha relevant to research involving reproductive tissue development, endocrine biology, cellular lineage, and tumor differentiation.
Clone INHA/9354 is a mouse monoclonal antibody generated against a recombinant fragment from within amino acids 233-362 of human INHA. This INHA Monoclonal Antibody provides a defined reagent for investigating inhibin alpha chain expression and complements other approaches to studying reproductive physiology, endocrine regulation, and INHA-associated tumor biology. NSJ Bioreagents supplies clone INHA/9354 for research use only.
An Inhibin Alpha Chain Antibody can be used to investigate INHA expression and its relationship to gonadal biology, reproductive hormone regulation, endocrine physiology, 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 Chain Antibody INHA/9354 / INHA Monoclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein from human Inhibin alpha protein (within amino acids 233-362) was used as the immunogen for the Inhibin Alpha Chain Antibody INHA/9354.
Aliquot the Inhibin Alpha Chain Antibody INHA/9354 and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
