Growth Hormone Mouse Recombinant ( GH Mouse )

Lyophilized Growth Hormone mouse although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution GH mouse 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.

Mouse Growth Hormone Recombinant contains 50mM Tris-HCl, pH8.0, 150mM NaCl buffer.

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. Mutations in or deletions of the gene lead to growth hormone deficiency and short stature.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Recombinant Mouse Growth Hormone is fully biologically active when compared to standard Human Growth Hormone which is 3 units/mg.
