Somatotropin Zebrafish Mutant G113R Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 185 amino acids with an additional Ala at the N-terminus and having a molecular mass of 21.18 kDa.
The Zebrafish Mutant G113R Recombinant is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
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.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Zebrafish Mutant G113R in 0.4% NaHCO3 or water adjusted to pH-9, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions, preferably in a presence of a carrier protein such as BSA or similar.
