Recombinant Mouse LSH-A protein (His tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Shared alpha chain of the active heterodimeric glycoprotein hormones thyrotropin/thyroid stimulating hormone/TSH, lutropin/luteinizing hormone/LH and follitropin/follicle stimulating hormone/FSH. These hormones bind specific receptors on target cells that in turn activate downstream signaling pathways.

Abbreviation

LSH-A

Synonyms

Anterior pituitary glycoprotein hormones common subunit alpha; FSH-alpha; Follicle-stimulating hormone alpha chain; Follitropin alpha chain; LSH-alpha; Luteinizing hormone alpha chain; Lutropin alpha chain; TSH-alpha; Thyro; Thyroid-stimulating hormone alpha chain
