Product Overview
Tag | Fc |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | NP_113667.1 |
Background | Inhibin betaE (INHBE) was identified as a novel putative hepatokine with hepatic gene expression that positively correlated with insulin resistance and body mass index in humans. Quantitative real time-PCR analysis also showed an increase in INHBE gene expression in independent liver samples from insulin-resistant human subjects.INHBE functions as a possible hepatokine to alter the whole-body metabolic status under obese insulin-resistant conditions. |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the human INHBE (NP_113667.1) (Thr237-Ser350) was expressed with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the N-terminus. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | Glu |
AA Sequence | Thr237-Ser350 |
Molecular Weight | The recombinant human INHBE consists of 374 a.a. and predicts a molecular mass of 40.9 kDa. |
Purity | >90% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg protein as determined by the LAL method. |

Target Details
Target Function | Inhibins and activins inhibit and activate, respectively, the secretion of follitropin by the pituitary gland. Inhibins/activins are involved in regulating a number of diverse functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ cell development and maturation, erythroid differentiation, insulin secretion, nerve cell survival, embryonic axial development or bone growth, depending on their subunit composition. Inhibins appear to oppose the functions of activins. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted. |
Protein Families | TGF-beta family |
