N/A

The sequence of the first six N-terminal amino acids was determined and was found to be Ala-Gln-Arg-Leu-Phe-Asn.

Zebrafish Growth-Hormone is biologically active in PDF-P1 3B9 cells stably transfected with rabbit GH receptors.

The protein was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with 0.5% NaHCO₃ pH-8.

Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

Greater than 99.0% as determined by:
(a) Analysis by SEC-HPLC.
(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Zebrafish Growth-Hormone in 0.4% NaHCO₃ or water adjusted to pH-9, not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions, preferably in a presence of a carrier protein such as BSA or similar.

Escherichia Coli.

Lyophilized Zebrafish Growth-Hormone although stable at room temperature for at least two weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18^oC. Upon reconstitution and filter sterilization GH can be stored at 4^oC, pH 9 for up to 4 weeks. For long term storage and more diluted solutions it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
