rhCG - Corticotropin releasing hormone binding protein

CRH is a powerful stimulator of synthesis and secretion of preopiomelanocortin-derived peptides. CRH concentration in the human peripheral circulation is usually low. The concentration rises during pregnancy and fall back quickly after parturition. Maternal plasma CRH most likely originates from the placenta. Human plasma has a CRH-binding protein that inactivates CRH and can inhibit inappropriate pituitary-adrenal stimulation in pregnancy.

Human recombinant CRHBP is a 34.58 kDa protein containing 308 aa and fused to a 10 aa N-Terminal His-tag.

Synonyms: Corticotropin releasing hormone binding protein, CRF-BP, CRH-BP, CRF-binding protein.
