Somatotropin Polyclonal Antibody

The growth hormone 1 encoded by GH1 is a member of the somatotropin/prolactin family of hormones which play an important role in growth control. The gene, along with four other related genes, is located at the growth hormone locus on chromosome 17 where they are interspersed in the same transcriptional orientation; an arrangement which is thought to have evolved by a series of gene duplications. The five genes share a remarkably high degree of sequence identity. Alternative splicing generates additional isoforms of each of the five growth hormones, leading to further diversity and potential for specialization. This particular family member is expressed in the pituitary but not in placental tissue as is the case for the other four genes in the growth hormone locus. Mutations in or deletions of the gene lead to growth hormone deficiency and short stature.

The Somatotropin Polyclonal Antibody is a highly specific and sensitive tool designed for the detection and quantification of somatotropin in various biological samples. This antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a specific region of the somatotropin protein.

The Somatotropin Polyclonal Antibody exhibits excellent affinity and specificity towards somatotropin, enabling accurate and reliable results in immunoassays such as ELISA, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. It recognizes both the native and recombinant forms of somatotropin, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

This antibody offers exceptional sensitivity, with a low detection limit, allowing for the precise quantification of somatotropin even at low concentrations. Its high specificity ensures minimal cross-reactivity with other related proteins, ensuring reliable and accurate results.

The Somatotropin Polyclonal Antibody is supplied as a liquid formulation, ready for immediate use. It is provided in a convenient size and concentration, allowing for easy handling and storage. The antibody is stable and retains its activity for an extended period when stored at the recommended temperature.

In summary, the Somatotropin Polyclonal Antibody is a valuable tool for researchers and scientists involved in the study of somatotropin. Its high specificity, sensitivity, and versatility make it an essential component in various immunoassays, enabling accurate and reliable detection and quantification of somatotropin in biological samples.
