Recombinant Human Prolactin

• Cat.No.: PRL-56H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human Prolactin produced inE.Coliis a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 200 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 23007 Dalton. The Prolactin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Specification

• Cat. No.: PRL-56H
• Description: Prolactin is a neuroendocrine hormone synthesized primarily by the pituitary gland but also a variety of other cell types including the placenta, brain and uterus. Its primary function is to promote and maintain lactation but has also been shown to have a role in breast cancer development, regulation of reproductive function and immunoregulation.
• Source: Escherichia Coli.
• Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
• Purity: Greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
• Formulation: The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution with 10 mM sodium Phosphate buffer pH=8 and 50 mM Nacl.
• Solubility: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Prolactin in sterile 18 MΩ-cm H₂O not less than 100 µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
• Amino Acid Sequence: The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Leu-Pro-Ile-Cys.
• Biological Activity: The ED₅₀as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of rat lymphoma, Nb2-11 was found to be < 0.065 ng/ml.
• Storage: Lyophilized Prolactin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Prolactin should be stored at 4°Cbetween 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 prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
