Catalog #: CYT-594
Description:
Placental Growth Hormone Ovine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 191 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21918 Dalton.
The GH Ovine Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
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.
Synonyms:
GH1, GH, GHN, GH-N, hGH-N,Pituitary growth hormone, Growth hormone 1, Somatotropin.
Source:
Escherichia Coli.
Amino Acid Sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Thr-Phe-Pro-Ala.
Purity:
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Growth Hormone in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 pH-9 not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045mM NaHCO3 adjusted to pH-9.
Stability:
Lyophilized Ovine Placental Growth Hormone although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18 °C. Upon reconstitution GH Ovine Placental 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.
Activity:
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).
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Protein Content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.684 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the PC GENE computer analysis program of protein sequences (IntelliGenetics).
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a calibrated solution of GH as a Reference Standard.
