Introduction

GH is a member of the somatotropin/prolactin family of hormones which play an important role in growth control. The gene, along with four other related genes, is located at the growth hormone locus on chromosome 17 where they are interspersed in the same transcriptional orientation; an arrangement which is thought to have evolved by a series of gene duplications. The five genes share a remarkably high degree of sequence identity. Alternative splicing generates additional isoforms of each of the five growth hormones, leading to further diversity and potential for specialization. This particular family member is expressed in the pituitary but not in placental tissue as is the case for the other four genes in the growth hormone locus. Mutations in or deletions of the gene lead to growth hormone deficiency and short stature.

Description

Growth Hormone Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a non-glycosylated monomer, having a total molecular weight of 22kDa.
The GH is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

HEK.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized powder.

Formulation

The GH was lyophilized from 1.13mg/ml in 1xPBS.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GH in sterile 1xPBS containing 0.1% endotoxin-free recombinant HSA.

Stability

Lyophilized GH although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GH should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein .
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Purity

Greater than 95% as obsereved by -PAGE.

Biological Activity

The activity was determined by the dose dependent stimulation of the proliferation of rat lymphoma line Nb2-11 cells , the ED50 is 0.1ng/ml.

Usage

ProSpecs products are furnished for LABORATORY RESEARCH USE ONLY. The product may not be used as drugs, agricultural or pesticidal products, food additives or household chemicals.
