Follistatin-like 3 (FSTL-3), also known as Follistatin-related Accurate Gene (FLRG) and Follistatin-related protein (FSRP), is a 30-35 kDa secreted glycoprotein. FSTL-3 encodes a novel secreted glycoprotein that is highly homologous to follistatin and binds activins and bone morphogenetic proteins, members of the TGF beta superfamily of growth/differentiation  factors. 

Ansh Labs AMH Tri-Level Controls are intended for use as assay quality controls to monitor the precision and reproducibility of laboratory testing methods for the determination of AMH in serum, plasma or other biological fluids.  Tri-level controls are run as unknowns against kit calibrators in any human AMH assays.  

Ansh Labs Inhibin B Tri-Level Controls are intended for use as assay quality controls to monitor the precision and reproducibility of laboratory testing methods for the determination of Inhibin B in serum, plasma or other biological fluids.  Tri-level controls are run as unknowns against kit calibrators in any human Inhibin B assays.  

In breast cancer STC2 is induced by estrogen and STC2 expression levels correlate with levels of estrogen receptor. STC2 function in different cancers may involve regulation of cell proliferation, neoplastic transformation and endothelial invasion. STC2 also plays a role in epithelial-mesenchymal transition by activation of MAPK/ERK signaling in hypoxic ovarian cancer cells. 

The Mouse Activin B enzyme linked immunuosorbent assay (ELISA) kit provides materials for the quantitative measurement of Activin B in mouse serum and other biological fluids

IGFBP-3 exhibits intrinsic growth-regulating effects that are not yet fully understood, but have evoked interest with regards to a possible role of IGFBP-3 as a prognostic tumor marker. Low IGFBP-3 and IGF-I levels are observed in GH deficiency or GH resistance, also epidemiologic studies suggest that low IGFBP-3 is associated with greater risk of aggressive, metastatic prostate cancers. 

Although the C-peptide of insulin is biologically inactive, it has a longer circulating half-life than insulin and undergoes relatively minimal hepatic metabolism. In addition, C-peptide of insulin assays may be analytically more sensitive than insulin assays. Because of these factors, measurement of C-peptide of insulin may be useful in evaluating insulin secretion in a variety of clinical conditions.  

The Ansh Labs' Ovine Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit is the only AMH assay designed specifically for use in sheep

The Mouse PAPP-A ELISA kit uses species specific calibrators and has been optimized to work with small sample sizes

The animal Inhibin A enzyme linked immunuosorbent assay (ELISA) kit provides materials for the quantitative measurement of Inhibin A in Equine, Canine, and Rodent serum and other biological fluids
