Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Human ( TSH Human )

Data sheet

Formulation

Lyophilized from a concentrated solution containing 50mM ammonium bicarbonate.

Solubility

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized TSH in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Purity

Greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Description

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Human produced in Human pituitary glands is an important indicator of thyroid function.

Protein Background

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as TSH or thyrotropin) is a hormone synthesized and secreted by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid gland.TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to secret

Reagent Appearance

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Stability

Lyophilized TSH although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution TSH 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 car
