Follicle Stimulating Hormone alpha (Follicle Stimulating Hormone alpha Chain, FSH alpha, FSH-alpha, FSHA, Follitropin alpha Chain)

Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotrophic hormone found in the pituitary glands. FSH acts to regulate the activity of granulosa and Sertoli cells, promotes the development of germinal center cells in the testis and induces maturation of Graafian follicles.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in ELISA and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nImmunohistochemistry: Paraffin sections\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nRecommended Pair:\nCapture: F5900-06\nDetection: F5900-26A\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months.
