Description
Introduction: Growth hormone receptor, also known as GHR is part of the cytokine receptor family. GHR binds 2 receptor molecules and in this manner induces signal transduction through receptor dimerization. Furthermore, at high concentrations, growth hormone performs as an antagonist since there is a large difference in affinities at the respective binding sites. The antagonist action can be enhanced further by reducing binding in the low affinity binding site.
Description: GHBP produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 254 amino acids (19-264a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 29.4kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa).GHBP is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
