| Formulation |
GHBP protein solution (1mg/ml) contains phosphate buffered saline (pH7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Purity |
Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
| Description |
GHBP produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 254 amino acids (19-264a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 29.4kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa).GHBP is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Protein Background |
Growth hormone receptor, also known as GHR is part of the cytokine receptor family. GHR binds 2 receptor molecules and in this manner induces signal transduction through receptor dimerization. Furthermore, at high concentrations, growth hormone performs as an antagonist since there is a large difference in affinities at the respective binding sites. The antagonist action can be enhanced further by reducing binding in the low affinity binding site. |
| Expression host |
Sf9, Insect cells. |
| Synonyms |
Growth Hormone Receptor, Growth Hormone Binding Protein, Somatotropin Receptor GH Receptor, Serum Binding Protein, GHBP, GHIP. |
| Reagent Appearance |
Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
| Stability |
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks.Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
