SYNONYMS
Inhibin Beta C, Actv Beta-C Chain, IHBC, Inhibin Beta C Chain.
INTRODUCTION
INHBC, the beta C chain of inhibin, belongs to the TGF-beta superfamily. INHBC formulates heterodimers with beta A and beta B subunits. Other members of the TGF-beta superfamily are Actv's and Inhibins, hormones with contradictory roles which take part in pituitary, hypothalamic, and gonadal hormone secretion, as well as differentiation and growth of numerous cell types.
DESCRIPTION
INHBC Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 139 amino acids (237-352) and having a molecular mass of 14.9kDa.
INHBC is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
