Description

Introduction
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.

BP000202-CYT-529: Recombinant Gilthead Seabream Growth Hormone

Source: E. Coli-derived.
Predicted molecular mass: 21.4 kDa.
N-terminal sequence analysis: Thr-Asp-Gly-Gln-Arg-Leu.
Binding assays of the 125I-labeled gilthead seabream GH to dolphin fish liver microsomal fraction resulted in high specific binding characterized by a Ka of 1.93 nM and a Bmax of 540 fmol/mg microsomal fraction protein. Recombinant gilthead seabream Growth Hormone, like ovine placental lactogen, exhibited growth-stimulating activity when applied orally to Sparus aurata larvae or intraperitoneally to juvenile fish.
Purity > 98%, by reducing SDS-PAGE and SEC-HPLC.
Formulation: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 ug/ml) solution with 0.02% NaHCO3.
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Growth-Hormone Gilthead Seabream in 0.4% NaHCO3 or water adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions, preferably in a presence of a carrier protein such as BSA or similar.

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.
