Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Rat |
Synonym | Mammotropin, Luterotropic hormone, Lutetropin, PRL. |
Background | Prolactin is a neuroendocrine hormone synthesized primarily by the pituitary gland but also a variety of other cell types including the placenta, brain and uterus. Its primary function is to promote and maintain lactation but has also been shown to have a role in breast cancer development, regulation of reproductive function and immunoregulation. |
Description | Prolactin Rat Recombinant expressed in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 198a.a. and having a molecular weight of 22.6 kDa. The Prolactin 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 Met-Leu-Pro-Val-Cys. |
Purity | >95.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of rat lymphoma, Nb2-11 was found to be < 0.065 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 15,400,000 Units/mg. |
Formulation | The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 10mM sodium Phosphate buffer pH=8 and 50mM Nacl. |
Stability | Recombinant protein is stable for 12 months at -70°C |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized Prolactin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Prolactin 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 (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
