Biological Activity

Description

GH Protein, Human is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration, which can be used for the study of growth disorders.

Background

Recombinant Human Growth Hormone is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration, which can be used for the treatment of growth disorders in children[1]. Growth Hormone is a stress hormone that stimulates production of IGF-1 and raises the concentration of glucose and free fatty acids[2]. Growth Hormone exerts some of its effects by binding to receptors on target cells, where it activates the MAPK/ERK pathway[3].

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<1.0 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping
