Anti-hCG Antibody (A282742)

Anti-hCG Antibody

Sheep polyclonal antibody to hCG.

This antibody recognises human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), a ~30 kDa hormone produced by placental syncytiotrophoblasts. hCG acts to maintain the corpus luteum until the developing placenta is able to produce the required levels of oestrogen and progesterone. hCG shares a common alpha chain with the pituitary hormones FSH, TSH and LH, but has a unique beta chain. Sheep anti Human chorionic gonadotrophin antibody reacts with intact hCG.
