Purity

> 98 % pure by SDS-PAGE and HPLC

Endotoxin Level

Less than 0.1 EU/ug of Prolactin as determined by LAL method.

Predicted Molecular Mass

22.6 kDa.
Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Activity

Prolactin protein is fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using rat Nb2-11 cells is less than 1.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 x 10^6 IU/mg.

Background: Prolactin

Prolactin, also named PRL and lactotrope is a peptide hormone, encoded by the PRL gene. The structure of prolactin is similar to that of growth hormone and placental lactogen. There are mainly three different forms of prolactin in regard to size: little prolactin, big prolactin and big big prolactin. Little prolactin is the predominant form. Although often associated with human milk production, prolactin plays a wide range of other roles in both humans and other verterbrates. Rat prolactin shares 77 % ~ 90 % a.a. sequence identity with human and murine prolactin. Recombinant rat prolactin is a 22.6 kDa globular protein containing 197 amino acid residues.

Product Specific Notices for Recombinant Rat Prolactin Protein

This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8 degrees C, but should be kept at -20 degrees C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is most stable at -20 to -80 degrees C, and can be stored for one week at 2-8 degrees C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20 degrees C to -80 degrees C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. This product is guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
