- Product Overview:
Follicle-Stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein produced by the pituitary gland and consists of two subunits with an approximate total molecular mass of 35 kDa. In males, FSH acts on the Sertoli cells of the testis to stimulate the synthesis of androgen-binding protein, which is indirectly involved in stimulating spermatogenesis. FSH also stimulates the secretion of inhibin, which acts by a negative feedback mechanism to inhibit further production of FSH by the pituitary. In females, FSH acts on the granulosa cells of the ovary to stimulate steroidogenesis, and to stimulate and sustain the development of a follicle leading up to ovulation. Cayman’s Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (human) ELISA Kit is an immunometric (i.e., sandwich) ELISA that permits FSH measurements within the range of 0.6-100 mIU/ml. This assay offers specific and sensitive analysis of FSH in human serum and has not been validated for other types of samples.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
