INHA Antibody INHA/6598R recognizes inhibin subunit alpha (INHA), a secreted glycoprotein that forms the alpha subunit of the inhibin hormones. INHA belongs to the transforming growth factor beta superfamily and combines with different beta subunits to produce biologically active inhibins. Association of the alpha subunit with inhibin beta A forms inhibin A, while association with inhibin beta B forms inhibin B. These heterodimeric hormones participate in endocrine feedback mechanisms that regulate reproductive function.
Inhibins are produced predominantly in the gonads, including granulosa cells of the ovary and Sertoli cells of the testis. One of their principal endocrine functions is suppression of follicle-stimulating hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary. Through this feedback relationship, inhibin signaling contributes to regulation 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.
In addition to its role in normal reproductive physiology, INHA expression is studied as a marker of cellular differentiation in endocrine and reproductive tissues. Inhibin alpha is associated with several tumors arising from sex cord-stromal and steroidogenic cell lineages, including granulosa cell tumors and certain adrenal cortical neoplasms. Its expression therefore has research relevance to reproductive biology, endocrine signaling, tumor differentiation, and the molecular characterization of gonadal and steroidogenic tissues.
Clone INHA/6598R is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody generated using a region within amino acids 233-362 of human INHA. This Inhibin Alpha Monoclonal Antibody provides a defined reagent for investigating inhibin alpha expression and complements research into endocrine regulation, reproductive tissue biology, and INHA-associated tumor biology. NSJ Bioreagents supplies clone INHA/6598R for research use only.
An INHA Antibody can be used to investigate inhibin alpha expression and its relationship to reproductive physiology, gonadal development, endocrine signaling, cellular differentiation, and tumor biology.
Explore our Cancer Marker Antibodies page for additional antibodies targeting proteins used to investigate tumor differentiation, cellular lineage, and cancer-associated expression patterns.
Optimal dilution of the INHA Antibody INHA/6598R / Inhibin Alpha Monoclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A portion of amino acids 233-362 was used as the immunogen for the recombinant INHA Antibody INHA/6598R.
Aliquot the INHA Antibody INHA/6598R and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
