Description of Carp Growth Hormone

Growth Hormone Carp Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 188 amino acids & having a molecular mass of 21,408 Dalton. Growth Hormone Carp is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Biological Activity

Carp GH is biologically active in rat 3T3 F442A preadipocytes, though its activity is 15-fold lower compared to bovine GH, but it is equally potent in vivo in promoting carp growth (Fine et al.1993). Furthermore, carp GH forms 1:2 complex with the extra cellular domain of ovine growth hormone receptor.

Reconstitution

We recommend a quick spin followed by reconstitution in sterile water to a concentration of at least 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Do not vortex.

Stability

Lyophilized Growth Hormone Carp recombinant although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Growth Hormone Carp 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 avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Amino Acid Sequence

The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and found to be Ser-Asp-Asn-Gln-Arg.
