CGA antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6939098

Product Details anti-CGA Antibody

Target: CGA (Glycoprotein Hormones, alpha Polypeptide (CGA))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CGA antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunostaining (ISt), Staining Methods (StM)

Specificity: This MAb reacts with a protein of ~13 kDa, identified as alpha sub-unit of HCG. HCG is a glycoprotein, which is secreted in large quantities by normal trophoblasts. It is present only in trace amounts in non-pregnant urine and sera but rises sharply during pregnancy. HCG is composed of two non-identical, non-covalently linked polypeptide chains designated as the subunit is identical to that of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).

Purification: Purified by Protein A/G

Immunogen: Recombinant hCG alpha protein

Clone: HCGa-53

Isotype: IgG1 kappa
