HCG beta Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit

• Description:

  The hCG beta Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can monitor hCG beta protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of hCG beta in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie. siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on hCG beta.

• Function:

  Beta subunit of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) . hCG is a complex glycoprotein composed of two glycosylated subunits alpha and beta which are non-covalently associated. The alpha subunit is identical to those in the pituitary gonadotropin hormones (LH, FSH and TSH) . The beta subunits are distinct in each of the hormones and confer receptor and biological specificity. Has an essential role for pregnancy and maternal adaptation. Stimulates the ovaries to synthesize the steroids that are essential for the maintenance of pregnancy.
