| Description : |
This gene encodes the anterior pituitary hormone prolactin. This secreted hormone is a growth regulator for many tissues, including cells of the immune system. It may also play a role in cell survival by suppressing apoptosis, and it is essential for lactation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. |
| Form : |
Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
| Bio-activity : |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by its ability to induce cAMP accumulation in murine MC3T3E1 cells is less than 50 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 × 10⁴ IU/mg. |
| Molecular Mass : |
Approximately 22.4 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 197 amino acids. |

| Endotoxin : |
Less than 0.1 EU/μg of rMuProlactin as determined by LAL method. |
| Purity : |
>98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analysis. |
| Storage : |
Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70 centigrade as supplied. 1 month, 2 to 8 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 months, -20 to -70 centigrade under sterile conditions after reconstitution. |
| Reconstitution : |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤-20 centigrade. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
