Product Science Overview

Biological Function and Importance
  1. Sexual Differentiation:

    • During male embryonic development, AMH is secreted by the Sertoli cells of the testes. It causes the regression of the Mullerian ducts, which are precursors to female reproductive organs such as the uterus, fallopian tubes, and the upper part of the vagina .
    • In the absence of AMH, as in female embryos, the Mullerian ducts develop into female reproductive organs .
  2. Reproductive Function:

    • In females, AMH is produced by the granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles. It plays a role in regulating the growth and development of ovarian follicles by inhibiting the recruitment of primordial follicles and decreasing their sensitivity to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) .
    • AMH levels in the blood are used as a marker of ovarian reserve, which reflects the remaining quantity and quality of a woman’s eggs. This is particularly useful in assessing fertility and predicting the success of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) .
Human Recombinant AMH (HEK)

Human Recombinant AMH (HEK) is produced using Human Embryonic Kidney (HEK) cells. This recombinant form is used in various research and clinical applications due to its high purity and biological activity .

  1. Production:

    • The gene encoding human AMH is inserted into HEK cells, which then produce the hormone. This method ensures that the recombinant AMH closely mimics the natural hormone in terms of structure and function .
  2. Applications:

    • Clinical Diagnostics: Recombinant AMH is used in immunoassays to measure AMH levels in serum or plasma, aiding in the assessment of ovarian reserve and fertility .
    • Research: It is used in studies investigating the role of AMH in reproductive biology, cancer research, and other areas of endocrinology .
Clinical Significance
  1. Fertility Assessment:

    • AMH levels are a reliable indicator of ovarian reserve and are used to evaluate a woman’s reproductive potential. Low AMH levels may indicate diminished ovarian reserve, while high levels can be associated with conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) .
  2. Cancer Research:

    • AMH has been found to inhibit the growth of tumors derived from tissues of Mullerian duct origin. This makes it a potential therapeutic target in certain types of cancer .
  3. Endocrinology:

    • AMH is involved in the differentiation and function of Leydig cells in males and plays a role in follicular development in females .
