HCG is a glycoprotein hormone secreted in pregnancy by embryonic trophoblast cells during the first 7 weeks of gestation. Production subsequently shifts to the placenta, where it continues until term. HCG is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha chain and a beta chain. The alpha chain is common to several other hormones, including lutenizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), while the beta chain is unique to HCG. Both alpha and beta chains contain a cysteine knot motif, also found in growth factors such as TGF-beta family members.

Immunohistochemistry: Chorionic Gonadotropin alpha Chain (hCG alpha) Antibody (AH21-10) [NBP3-33064]
Immunohistochemistry: Chorionic Gonadotropin alpha Chain (hCG alpha) Antibody (AH21-10) [NBP3-33064] - Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded rat pituitary tissue with Mouse anti-Chorionic Gonadotropin alpha Chain (hCG alpha) antibody (NBP3-33064) at 1/200 dilution.The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (NBP3-33064) at 1/200 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
