Details

Catalog number: RF0011

Format: 50ug, 1 mg

Origin: It is produced by transient expression in non-transgenic plants. Recombinant Human Growth Hormone is purified by sequential chromatography (FPLC). This product contains no animal–derived components or impurities. Animal Free product.

Description: Recombinant Human Growth Hormone is a polypeptide containing 205 aminoacids fused to a 6 His tag at N-terminal . It migrates at 22.9 kDa. It is a member of the somatotropin/prolactin family of hormones which play an important role in growth control. This particular family member is expressed in the pituitary but not in placental tissue as is the case for the other four genes in the growth hormone locus. Mutations in or deletions of the gene lead to growth hormone deficiency and short stature.
