CGB3 Human

CGB3 Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 154 amino acids (21-165.a.) and having a molecular mass of 16.6kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 18-28kDa). CGB3 is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

CGB3, belongs to the glycoprotein hormone beta chain family. CGB3 encodes the beta 3 subunit. CGB3 stimulates the expression of GCM1 target genes, as well as the fusogenic protein syncytin-1, to promote placental cell fusion. Furthermore, CGB3 is synthesized in large quantities by the growing placenta, reaching peak concentrations in maternal blood throughout the late first trimester and early mid-trimester of pregnancy. CGB3 is expressed solely by trophoblasts. CGB3 is a significant biomarker in pregnancy and oncology, where it is routinely detected and quantified by specific immunoassays.

Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
