GH/Somatotropin Protein, Mouse

GH/Somatotropin Protein, Mouse is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration, which can be used for the growth disorders research.

Growth Hormone (Somatotropin) 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].

Approximately 20.0 kDa

Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Lyophilized powder

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM HEPES, 4% Sucrose, 4% Mannitol, 0.02% Tween 80, pH 8.0.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O.

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. 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.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
