Description

Background
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.

BP000202-CYT-519: Recombinant Porcine Growth Hormone

Source: E.coli-derived.
A single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 190 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21730 Dalton.
N-terminal sequence analysis: Phe-Pro-Ala-Met-Pro.
Biological Activity: Somatotropin contains 3 units/mg.
Purity: > 98.0% as determined by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: The Growth-hormone (1 ug/ml) was lyophilized after extensive dialyses against 0.34 mg sodium phosphate buffer (0.02 mg sodium phosphate monobasic & 0.32 mg sodium phosphate dibasic).
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized pST in sterile 18 M?-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Shipping: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
Stability & Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70°C as supplied.
1 month, 2 to 8°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 to -70°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution
