A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of AHSG antibody, Alternative Names: AHSG control peptide, AHSG antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-AHSG Blocking Peptide, Alpha-2-Hs-Glycoprotein Blocking Peptide, A2HS Blocking Peptide, AHS Blocking Peptide, FETUA Blocking Peptide, HSGA Blocking Peptide
Alpha2-HS glycoprotein (AHSG), a glycoprotein present in the serum, is synthesized by hepatocytes. The AHSG molecule consists of two polypeptide chains, which are both cleaved from a proprotein encoded from a single mRNA. It is involved in several functions, such as endocytosis, brain development and the formation of bone tissue. However, its exact significance is still obscure.
