Background: Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone synthesised and secreted by gonadotropes in the anterior pituitary gland. FSH and LH act synergistically in reproduction. In women, in the ovary, FSH stimulates the growth of immature Graafian follicles to maturation. As the follicle grows it releases inhibin, which shuts off the FSH production. In men, FSH enhances the production of androgen- binding protein by the Sertoli cells of the testes and is critical for spermatogenesis. In both males and females, FSH stimulates the maturation of germ cells. In females, FSH initiates follicular growth, specifically affecting granulosa cells. With the concomitant rise in inhibin B, FSH levels then decline in the late follicular phase. This seems to be critical in selecting only the most advanced follicle to proceed to ovulation. At the end of the luteal phase, there is a slight rise in FSH that seems to be of importance to start the next ovulatory cycle. Like its partner LH, FSH release at the pituitary gland is controlled by pulses of gonadotropin- releasing hormone(GnRH). Those pulses, in turn, are subject to the estrogen feed-back from the gonads.

Biological Activity: Activity was determined  to be 1x104 IU/mg protein

Description: Follicle stimulating hormone is a glycoprotein with molecular mass of 30 kDa. FSH is a heterodimeric hormone consisting of 92 amino acids alpha chain and 111 amino acids beta chain. Optimized DNA sequence encoding Human FSH mature chain was expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells.

Endotoxin Level: <0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg), using the LAL gel clot method.

Format: lyophilized protein

Formulation: Lyophilized from 0.2 µm filtered PBS solution, pH 7.0.

Genbank: P01225

Purity: ≥95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Reconstitution: Reconstitute at 0.1-1.0 mg/ml in distilled water. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. To maximize product collection from vial surface, vortex briefly and then spin down to recollect the liquid.

Storage Stability: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt when stored at -20°C. Upon reconstitution, store in working aliquots at +4°C for up to one month, or at -20°C for up to six months, in the presence of a carrier protein. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Uniprot: P01225

Warnings: Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.

Biosafety Level: Not applicable (BSL-1)
