HEK293 |
Theoretical Molecular Weight |
10.20 kDa (FSH alpha) and 13.58 kDa (FSH beta) |
Apparent Molecular Weight |
Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 25-30 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). |
Reconstitution |
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. |
Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, the product remains stable up to 6 months at -20 °C or below. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for 3 months at -80 °C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Background |
FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone. It has a functionally indispensable 96 amino acid α subunit that is common to LH, TSH and hCG, in addition to a structurally unique β subunit. FSH is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland and regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation, and reproductive processes of the body. |
