Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Ovine |
Synonym | GH1, GH, GHN, GH-N, hGH-N, Pituitary growth hormone, Growth hormone 1, Somatotropin. |
Background | GH is a member of the somatotropin/prolactin family of 60 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 60, 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 | Somatotropin Ovine Antagonist Recombinant G119R expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 191a.a. and having a molecular weight of 22 kDa. The Somatotropin Ovine Antagonist Recombinant is purified by unique purification methods. |
Source | E.coli |
AA Sequence | The sequence of the first five N-terminalaa was determined and was found to be Ala-Thr-Phe-Pro-Ala. |
Purity | >98.0% as determined by: (a)Analysis by RP-HPLC (b)Analysis by Gel Filtration.(c) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | GH G119R acts as antagonist using an in vitro bioassay in PDF-P1 3B9 cells stably transfected with rabbit GH receptors. It is capable of forming a 1:1 complex with the recombinant ovine growth hormone receptor extracellular domain (ECD) and binds to this ECD with affinity similar the the wild type oGH. |
Formulation | The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045M NaHCO3, pH 9. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized GH G119R although stable at room temperature for at least two weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution and filter sterilization GH can be stored at 4°C, pH 9 for up to 4 weeks. For long term storage and more diluted solutions it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
