CYT-710 GH Zebrafish/重组斑马鱼生长激素

Synonyms

GH1, GH, GHN, GH-N, hGH-N, Pituitary growth hormone, Growth hormone 1, Somatotropin.

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

Somatotropin Zebrafish Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 185 amino acids with an additional Ala at the N-terminus ａnd having a molecular mass of 21.18 kDa. The Zebrafish Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source

Escherichia Coli.

Physical Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized （freeze-dried） powder.

Formulation

The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated （1mg/ml） solution with 0.5% NaHCO3 pH-8.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Zebrafish Growth-Hormone in 0.4% NaHCO3 or water adjusted to pH-9, not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions, preferably in a presence of a carrier protein such as BSA or similar.

Stability

Lyophilized Zebrafish Growth-Hormone 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.

Purity

Greater than 99.0% as determined by: （a） Analysis by RP-HPLC. （b） Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Biological Activity

Zebrafish Growth-Hormone is biologically active in PDF-P1 3B9 cells stably transfected with rabbit GH receptors.

Amino acid sequence

The sequence of the first six N-terminal amino acids was determined ａnd was found to be Ala-Gln-Arg-Leu-Phe-Asn.
