Name : Human FSH alpha&beta Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human FSH alpha&beta Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Ala25-Ser116 (FSH alpha) & Asn19-Glu129 (FSH beta).[Accession | P01215(FSH alpha)&P01225 (FSH beta)]

Molecular Weight :
The protein has a predicted MW of 10.20 kDa (FSH alpha) and 39.2 kDa (FSH beta). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 25-30 kDa (FSH alpha) and 50-60 kDa (FSH beta) based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

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 and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution. 2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human FSH alpha&beta on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human FSH alpha&beta is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC.

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.

Synonyms :
FSH alpha/beta; FSH alphaβ FSH alpha & FSH beta
