This monoclonal antibody reacts with natural and recombinant hGH. The affinity constant measured by Friguet’s (1985) method is 1.7 x 1010/M.

Human, others not tested

Human growth hormone (hGH) is a 191 amino acid polypeptide secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain. The hormone is critical for height increase and stature development before puberty, and is needed for maintaining healthy organ and vitality in adults. In childhood, insufficient hGH results in short stature and over secretion of hGH causes gigantism. hGH is regulated primarily by somatocrinin and somatostatin released from hypothyalamus in response to physiological signals such as age, gender nutrition, excise, stress and sleep etc.

ELISA: In combination with capture antibody anti-hGH mAb clone YC6 (Cat.: MO-M40012A) and avidin-HRP conjugate, this biotin conjugated antibody can be used as tracer in sandwich ELISA applications for hGH detection.
