Other Performance Data: Endotoxin Level: Measured by kinetic LAL analysis and is typically ≤ 1 EU/μg protein. Biologic Activity: The activity is determined by the ability to induce proliferation of PDF 9D11 cells for this effect and is typically 0.5-0.8 ng/mL.
Physical State: Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: Growth Hormone purity was determined to be greater than 98% as determined by analysis by UV-Spectroscopy at 280nm and by reducing and non-reducing SDS-pAGE.
Background: Growth Hormone (GH) is an important growth factor made in and secreted throughout the body by the anterior pituitary gland. It stimulates growth and cell reproduction and regeneration in humans and other animals. The inability to appropriately produce or respond to GH results in diseases of decreased stature in children and adults. Although GH is used to treat several growth disorders, it is thought to be a very complex hormone with many of its functions yet to be uncovered. Recombinant human GH is non-glycosylated protein, containing 192 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 22.2 kDa.
Low Endotoxin: Yes
