Native Human, Glycoprotein Hormones, Alpha Polypeptide

• Cat.No.: CGA-1855H
• Product Overview: Native human CGA was expressedin Human pregnancy urine.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Human Pregnancy Urine
• Tag: Non
• Description: Human CGA (hCG) is apeptide hormone produced in pregnancy, that is made by the embryo soon afterconception and later by the trophoblast (part of the placenta). HumanCGA(hCG) role is to prevent the disintegration of the corpus luteum of the ovaryand thereby maintain progesterone production that is critical for a pregnancyin humans.
