Ovine growth hormone antagonist (G119R) - Cat no. GHP-4 GENE ID 443329

Description:
Recombinant ovine GH-22K G119R produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 191 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 22 kDa. It is mutated in single amino acid (G119R) according to similar bovine GH mutein described by Chen et al. (1991), Molecular Endocrinology 5:1845–1852. oGH was purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source:
Escherichia coli.



Lot Number:

Physical Appearance:
Sterile-filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation:
The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.0045 M NaHCO3 previously adjusted pH 9.
Solubility:
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized oGH G119R in 0.4% NaHCO3 or water adjusted to pH 9, not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions, preferably in a presence of a carrier protein such as BSA or similar.
Stability:
Lyophilized oGH G119R although stable at room temperature for at least two weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution and filter sterilization oGH can be stored at 4C, pH 9 for up to 4 weeks. For long term storage and more diluted solutions it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity:
Greater than 98.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.
(b) Gel filtration at non denaturing conditions using 25 nM Tris-HCl + 150 nM NaCl, pH 8.
(c) Analysis by reducing and non-reducing SDS-PAGE Silver Stained gel.
Amino Acid Sequence:
The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Thr-Phe-Pro-Ala.
Dimers and Aggregates:
Less than 4% as determined by gel filtration chromatography
Biological Activity:
PLR’s oGH G119R acts as antagonist using an in vitro bioassay in PDF-P1 3B9 cells stably transfected with rabbit GH receptors. It is capable of forming a 1:1 complex with the recombinant ovine growth hormone receptor extracellular domain (ECD)and binds to this ECD with affinity similar the the wild type oGH.
Endotoxin:
Less than 0.1 ng/µg (IEU/µg) of ovine GH G119R.
Protein content:
Protein quantitation was carried out by UV spectroscopy at 280 nm using the absorbency value of 0.63 as the extinction coefficient for a 0.1% (1mg/ml) solution. This value is calculated by DNAman computer analysis program of protein sequences.
Usage:
For research only
