Recombinant Rat Ghrelin

• Cat.No.: Ghrl-47R

Specification

• Description: Ghrelin is a multifunctional peptide with functions that include the regulation of appetite as well as cardiovascular functions.
• Species: Rat
• Form: Powder. Due to the nature of this material, it may coagulate at the bottom of the vial to form resinous droplets during storage. This change in appearance is not related to any deterioration in the quality of the product.
• Molecular Mass: 3314.8
• Usage: For in vitro research use only. Not for use in diagnostics or in humans.
• Notes: The n-Octanoyl group of the peptide is prone to detachment from the side chain of Ser3 if the aqueous solution is left at room temperature.
• Storage: Powder: Store the undissolved peptide at -20°C. Solution: Prepare 100-200 μL aliquots and freeze at -20°C. The aqueous solution should be used within two weeks.
• Warning: No warranties, expressed or implied, are made regarding the use of this product. Creative Biomart is not liable for any damage, personal injury, or economic loss caused by this product.
