| Description: | Human growth hormone (hGH, somatotropin), a protein hormone from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland, comprises a single polypeptide chain of 191 amino acid residues. The 20kDa variant form of human growth hormone (20kDa hGH) presents in extracts from pituitary glands and it differs from the major form of hGH (22kDa, 191 amino acid) by the deletion of amino acid residues 32-46. The growth hormone amino acid sequence varies considerably between species, and non-primate growth hormones have little activity in man. Main functions of hGH and 20kDa hGH are the stimulation of somatic and bone growth, as well as an increase in the size and mass of organs and tissues. |
| Further Information: | The antibody has been tested by ELISA and Western blot analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results. Recommended dilution range for Western blot analysis is 1:500 ~ 1,000. Recommended starting dilution is 1:500. |
