Cat#:RP-2384R;Product Name:Recombinant Rat Prolactin Protein;Synonym:Mammotropin, Luterotropic hormone, Lutetropin, PRL.;Description:Prolactin Rat Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 198 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 22.6 kDa. The Prolactin is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.;Source:E.coli;AA Sequence:The sequence of the first five N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Met-Leu-Pro-Val-Cys.;Purity:>95.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.;Bioactivity:The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of rat lymphoma, Nb2-11 was found to be < 0.065 ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of 15,400,000 Units/mg.;Formulation:The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 10mM sodium Phosphate buffer pH=8 and 50mM Nacl.;Stability:Recombinant Proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70℃;Reconstitution:It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Prolactin in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.;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°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 prevent freeze-thaw cycles.;
