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-594: Recombinant Ovine Placental Growth Hormone

Source: E.coli-derived.
A single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 191 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21918 Dalton.
N-terminal sequence analysis: Ala-Thr-Phe-Pro-Ala.
Placental Growth Hormone differs from pituitary Ovine Growth Hormone by two amino acids G9R/G63S. Placental Ovine Growth Hormone possesses higher biological activity as compared to pituitary Ovine GH.
Ovine placental Grwoth Hormone is fully biologically active when compared to World Health Organization (WHO) reference standard using in vitro bioassay in PDF-P1 3B9 cells stably transfected with rabbit GH receptors. It is also capable of forming a 1:2 complex with the recombinant ovine growth hormone receptor extracellular domain (ECD).
Purity: > 98.0% as determined by SEC-HPLC and SDS-PAGE.
Formulation: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 ug/ml) solution with 0.0045 mM NaHCO3 adjusted to pH-9.
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Growth Hormone in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 pH-9 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
