Human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Beta (β-TSH)

Long name

Recombinant Human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Beta (β-TSH)
Gene name

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Beta
Category

Recombinant proteins
Storage and handling

For short term storage the vial may be kept refrigerated in the temperature range of 1 to 6 degrees Celcius. For long term storage, keep the protein frozen at -20 deg. C. Avoid cycles of freezing and twaing as they may denaturate the peptide chains of the protein, thus changing its structure and properties.
Description

Hormone releasing factors and releasing hormones are signaling molecules produced by glands in multicellular organisms. The glands that secrete Luteinizing hormones LHRG and LH, FSH comprise the endocrine signaling system. The term growth hormone releasing hormone GHRH is sometimes extended to include chemicals produced by cells that affect the same cell (autocrine or intracrine signaling) or nearby cells (paracrine signaling). Human recombinant LHRG and GHRH are produced in E. coli or in yeast cells.
Properties

Human proteins, cDNA and human recombinants are used in human reactive ELISA kits and to produce anti-human mono and polyclonal antibodies. Modern humans (Homo sapiens, primarily ssp. Homo sapiens sapiens). Depending on the epitopes used human ELISA kits can be cross reactive to many other species. Mainly analyzed are human serum, plasma, urine, saliva, human cell culture supernatants and biological samples.
