Certificate of Analysis and Data Sheet
Source:
E.Coli
Catalog No.
CYT-296
Background:
A polypeptide that is secreted by the adenohypophysis . Growth hormone, also known as somatotropin, stimulates mitosis, cell differentiation and cell growth. Species-specific growth hormones have been synthesized.
GH augments the cytolytic activity of T-cells, antibody synthesis, and granulocyte differentiation induced by GM-CSF . GH also enhances production of TNF-alpha , generation of superoxide anions from peritoneal macrophages, and natural killer activity.
Description:
Recombinant Rat GH produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated,
polypeptide chain containing having a molecular mass of 21940.01 Dalton.
Rat-GH is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
Rat Growth Hormone(1mg/ml) was lyophilized after extensive dialyses against 5mM phosphate buffer,
5mg mannitol and 1mg glycine.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Rat-GH in sterile 18MΩ-cm
H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Stability:
Lyophilized Rat-GH although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated
below -18 C. Upon reconstitution Rat-GH 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 avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity:
Greater than 97.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Anion-exchange FPLC.
(c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
Amino acid sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found
to be Met-Phe-Pro-Thr-Ile.
Dimers and aggregates:
Less than 1% as determined by silver-stained SDS-PAGE gel analysis.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/ug (IEU/ug) of Rat Growth Hormone.
Protein content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by two independent methods:
1. UV spectroscopy at 280 nm.
2. Analysis by RP-HPLC, using a standard
solution of Rat Growth Hormone as a Reference Standard.
