Inhibin, Alpha

Testicular tissue stained with Inhibin alpha antibody

BC/R1 monoclonal antibody recognizes the 32kD alpha subunit of human inhibin. Inhibin is a peptide hormone that is produced by ovarian granulose cells which inhibits the release of FSH. Inhibin alpha subunit is expressed in a wide range of human tissues outside the reproductive axis such as prostate, brain, adrenal, as well as in the granulosa cells of the ovary, Sertoli cells of the testis and various cells of the fetoplacental unit. Inhibin may be used as a differential marker for adrenocortical tumors, placenta and gestational trophoblastic lesions and sex cord stromal tumors.
