Description
Product Name: | Ovine Prolactin Recombinant Protein |
Product Code: | RPPB0876 |
Size: | 20µg |
Species: | Ovine |
Target: | Prolactin |
Synonyms: | Mammotropin, Luteotropic hormone, Luteotropin, PRL. |
Source: | Escherichia Coli |
Physical Appearance: | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation: | The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.02-0.03% NaHCO3. |
Solubility: | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Prolactin in sterile 18M?-cm H2O or 0.4% NaHCO3 adjusted to pH 8-9, not less than 100�g/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
Stability: | Lyophilized Prolactin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Prl 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 carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Purity: | Greater than 99.0% as determined by:(a)�Gel filtration analysis.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
Amino Acid Sequence: | The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Thr-Pro-Val-Cys-Pro |
Biological Activity: | Is fully biologically active as evidenced by inducing proliferation of Nb2 cells. |
UniProt Code: | P01240 |
Prolactin is a neuroendocrine hormone synthesized primarily by the pituitary gland but also a variety of other cell types including the placenta, brain and uterus. Its primary function is to promote and maintain lactation but has also been shown to have a role in breast cancer development, regulation of reproductive function and immunoregulation.
Prolactin Ovine Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 199 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23 kDa. The Prolactin n is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
