Epredia™ Lab Vision™ Chorionic Gonadotropin Human/hCG Ab-5 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, 200μg/mL, BSA and azide

Descripción

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein that 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 α- and Β-subunits. The α-subunit of HCG is nearly identical to that of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH). A germ cell tumor which is positive for cytokeratin, placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP), and HCG but negative for EMA and AFP is probably a choriocarcinoma.
