20 kDa Growth Hormone

Recombinant Protein, Human, Not Biologically Active

PRODUCT #: RP-332

 

Size: 10 µg
   
Product Overview: Recombinant 20 kDa human growth hormone was purified by FPLC gel-filtration chromatography, after refolding of the isolated inclusion bodies in a renaturation buffer.
   
Description: The 20 kDa variant form of human growth hormone (20 kDa hGH) presents in extracts from pituitary glands and it differs from the major form of hGH (22 kDa, 191 amino acid) by the deletion of amino acid residues 32-46. The physiological role of 20 K hGH remains to be determined partly but it regards the main function as stimulation of somatic and bone growth, as well as an increase in the size and mass of organs and tissues.
   
Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE.
   
Formulation: Liquid in 88 mM mannitol, 5 mM phosphate (pH 7.4).
   
Storage: Can be stored at 4°C short term (1-2 weeks). For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or -70°C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
