Growth Hormone Binding Protein Rabbit Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 248 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 48 kDa. GHBP Rabbit is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
GHBP is a transmembrane receptor for growth hormone. Binding of growth hormone to the receptor leads to receptor dimerization and the activation of an intra- and intercellular signal transduction pathway leading to growth. A common alternate allele of this gene, called GHRd3, lacks exon three and has been well-characterized. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Laron syndrome, also known as the growth hormone insensitivity syndrome (GHIS), a disorder characterized by short stature. Other splice variants, including one encoding a soluble form of the protein (GHRtr), have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized GHBP Rabbit in sterile 0.4% NaHCO3 pH 10, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Evidenced by its ability of forming 2:1 complex with non-primate Growth Hormones.
