Anti-Thyrotropin (hTSH) Monoclonal Antibody (Clone:TSH-51) -Biotin Conjugated

Specificity: The antibody TSH-51 reacts with human thyroid stimulating hormone (hTSH, thyrotropin), a glycoprotein hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland cells in response to signals from the hypothalamus gland in the brain. The TSH-51 antibody reacts with association constant 5.5 x 1010 l/mol. Following cross-reactivity expressed as binding of labelled hormone (% of total) was determined by solid phase RIA with excess of the antibody TSH-51: hTSH (68.6), hCG (0.03), hLH (2.99), hFSH (0.66) . Description: Thyrotropin (hTSH) promotes the growth of the thyroid gland in the neck and stimulates it to produce more thyroid hormones. hTSH is composed of two subunits - alpha and beta.
