Recombinant Rat Growth Hormone Anatagonist is supplied as a recombinant protein for in vitro research use.
Background
GH is a member of the somatotropin/prolactin family of hormones which play an important role in growth control. The gene, along with 4 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 was evolved by a series of gene duplications. The 5 genes share a remarkably high degree of sequence identity. Alternative splicing generates additional isoforms of each of the 5 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 4 genes in the growth hormone locus.
Product format
Provided as a recombinant protein suitable for in vitro workflows such as binding studies, screening, and assay development. Refer to the specifications table for expression format and molecular properties.
Quality notes
Protein quantitation was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.69 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by the DNAman analysis program of protein sequences.
